Principles of the ‘ecology room’The ecology room aims to allow participants to go on their own journey through different activities that help them access their holistic intelligences. People are encouraged to interact, and comment on each others’ artefacts through using post-it notes.

experiencing• redundancy and dissonance • liberating constraints• decentralised control• energy flow and iteration• metaphors • feedback • debriefing and reflecting
