NOT WORK!
INTRODUCING DESIGN STUDIO
People from various areas & with
different experience
Even 20-30 people can join
Big amount of concepts
Active discussion
We split to groups (i.e. 4 people)
Mixed parties in every group
We work in iterations
Work alone, then within group, then all
together
Everyone can sketch!
