for the common cause

While our technological communication is improving, are we loosing the communication amongst ourselves? I'm still having a few minor issues with the blog postings looking completely different once they publish but overall its fairly easy to post up our ideas and process. I think the addition of our own personal scanner in studio could be helpful in regards to quick sketches although the view from the video camera closely resembles that of the eye.

In regards to the studio project, I think the most difficult challenge to us right now is working together as a group of ten. Its been a tough coming off of several semesters of group projects to always stay motivated despite surrender most of your own ideas. Ultimately decisions have to be made and for each person they would be slightly different. The battle become dealing with these different ideas and choosing with which ones to proceed. The advantage is a greater pool of ideas; the disadvantage is the lack of an ultimate leader and the lack of critical design work to contribute around the table. I'm looking forward to be able to explore and develop individual ideas again, aided by the critiques of others but ultimately taking ownership in the design.
