Reflection After trying to figure out what form, scale, and outputs would work best for the general visitors of UPMC, I needed to iterate and the most enticing type of installation for people to enter and for group of people to work with at the same time. This will also…

Reflection We decided to do a debrief as a class after all the conversations and mid-terms happening the week before. What was interesting and slightly tangential from our project was the emphasis that some groups put on how to better block out the rest of the semester. Most people have…
