Exercise 1: what makes a great seminar?
Remember your best seminar experience
What made it great?
What did you do physically?
Did it change you? If so, how?
Was the room a factor? If so, how?

Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new seminar spaces
In your groups, choose a metaphor and write or sketch:
What is the metaphor?
What is significant about it?
What will people physically do in the space?
How will they feel during / after seminars?

Exercise 2: using metaphors to imagine new seminar spaces
In your groups, think of a metaphor. On your whiteboards, tell us:
What is the metaphor?
Which aspects of it are most essential?
What will people do in the space?
How will they feel?
