THORPE, A. and GAMMAN, L. (2007) Domestic Bliss: Indoor Bike Storage, BA (Hons) Product Design (Course Director: Paul Sayers), Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. The project included organising:
• Project Introduction - 22.01.07
• Briefing - 29.01.07
• Interim Critique - 07.03.07
• Final Critique - 13.03.07
A brief was run with BA (Hons) Product Design that explored three themes:
1. how users interact with objects and their functions;
2. the impact that technology has on the method of interaction; and
3. impact of crime on object storage like bikes.
It asked designers to analyse how people ‘interact with and live with’ their bikes within a domestic environment and the problems and opportunities this creates to develop new experiences.
