Stripped of function, what does the form
say about the design?
FORM forms without function
Does the experience unfold? Are there
different qualities based on
time/distance/context?
MULTIPLE VIEWPOINTS unfolds over time and distance
Does it reference materials that are familiar
– wood, metal, etc.?
PHYSICAL PARTS uses familiar materials
PHYSICAL PARTS uses familiar materials
Do the physical interactions ring true?
Does it mimic, mirror or elicit a movement
or bodily state?
BODILY EMPATHY engages physical imagination
Does it inspire/require an active sensory
engagement?
MULTI-SENSORY thinking physically
How does the design interact with its
environment? Is it flexible? What is its
relation to the objects around it?
CONTEXT more than the thing itself
