The first stage in this project was gathering raw observational data about the space we had selected. We chose the Tate as it provided the most ideal, out of the options, as it provides a sheltered part to the entrance and large open space to experiment with. Plus, due to the size of the space and the casual nature of the visits by the public, we would have space to intrude on while not inconveniencing the public.

Elvia Vasconcelos’ presentation on research methods provided a helpful structure to make sense of our raw data. We used her thinking to create a What > Why > How > Hypothesis chart.
