Abstract
In design, process is sometimes forgotten when it comes down to a finalized production. What if production, process, and progress were all intertwined instead of specified on a time line? This thesis explores how different medias and techniques can inform the design process. Through constant making- progress can be made. The act of making further intertwines ideas as the mind is never separate from the body. Sometimes the progress is small, but it still reveals something much more about the author and the object when one takes a look back.
Taking a photograph of a subject sometimes only lasts for less than a second. The process leading up to the point before the photo is revealed is seemingly forgotten by most except maybe the author. Evoking the use of photography as a means of documenting and investigating can help blur the lines between the production and the process. By understanding that the impressions left upon the individual can change the perception of the built structure and the built structre can change its perception upon the individual.
