DDR Statement

Through the use of plans, sections and mockups, we will analyze the interaction format in 3 different projects.

In this approach, we will also try to experiment with different types of outdoor design approaches: models, 3d models, sketches, plans/cuts, photographs.

Although with distinct programs, the 3 schools will be presented at the end with the same language, in order to facilitate comparative reading.

With the use of DDR methodology, we foresee a closer dialogue between designers and educational community-children.
