We met with our pair, Team 8, on Sunday via Zoom. As clients and designers, we shared our initial thoughts on each other’s briefs. Here are the topics we have discussed:
We first talked about the brief we gave them. They had questions regarding the size of the storage unit, as team 10 we have decided that we will be updating our brief in terms of size. Then we moved on to what a Turkish kitchen looks like. Yağmur was in her hometown so she showed the balcony where they kept their food. Aybüke showed an example of a storage unit in her kitchen, and I have shown my kitchen to show what an average Turkish kitchen looks like in terms of size, how many cupboards there are, etc.
We have asked questions about their brief. We asked what they tried to explain in the brief. It is their initial brief so we asked them questions like;
-Should it be space or product?
-How should we approach it?
-Is this mainly based on the experience of seniors?
-In which relationship aspect should we focus on? Between seniors themselves or between seniors and young people? They have said that we should focus on the interaction between seniors.
We have also talked about what kind of areas they have meant about “rural areas”. They will explain it further in detail in their updated brief.
Here am I showing my kitchen, sorry it is not very tidy!
We believe it was a very informative and friendly Zoom session. Scarlet and Cristina are very engaging, it was really enjoyable talking with them. We were excited to meet with them, and we said that we would meet every Sunday via Zoom. We are looking forward to future meetings!
Love, Team 10
