11/21 "The Brief Wadsworth Handbook"

1. My tentative thesis is The Anderson Gymnasium Weight Room current design is set up in such a way that it is very difficult to work out comfortably, both due to space constraints and reflective expectations tied with a gym area.

2. Some of the constraints I plan to address include the space constraints. Other constraints include price, location, the existing structure, and athletes’ needs. The trigger points include the equipment, both availability and variety. Other trigger points include usability and ease of use.

3. The Design of Everyday Things, Emotional Designs, The Experience Architect, Simplicity is Highly Overrated, Principles of Marketing

4. “These questions are all cultural. There is nothing practical, nothing biological about the answers. The answers are conventions, learned in whatever society you inhabit.”
