Feedback is a crucial step in the design process, as it exposes you to new ideas, methods, and techniques for developing your ideas further. Continuous feedback throughout the design process also creates a collaborative studio culture, where ideas are shared across projects, which leads to more exciting, developed, and innovative ideas!

As a class review the Guide for Giving Feedback: (10min)
Feedback should never have mean intentions! You can be positive and critical at the same time.
Be as specific as you can.
What kind of feedback would you find helpful if it were your project? Try to give the type of feedback that you would like to receive.
Always elaborate with WHY. Instead of just saying, "your idea is great," explain what part of their project you like and why you think it is interesting.
Ask questions! If something doesn't make sense to you, ask a question about that part of the project or idea. This is a great method for getting someone to think about new ideas, different perspectives, and new approaches.
We will have a class discussion about each project, you will also participate by giving feedback to their peers. Make sure you have a presentation that includes photos of your site, inspiration photos, your sketches and prototypes. (30min)
Begin by reflecting on the feedback you received and engage in a discussion with your partner, considering the following questions: Which suggestions from the feedback will you keep and incorporate into your design? What suggestions will you think about and transform to align with your concept? Are there any suggestions that you've decided to discard? Explain why. (10min)
Next, with your partner and the support of your instructor, decide on a single final project you'd like to create together. Let your teacher know when you decide on your idea to discuss it with them. They will provide feedback and help you move forward. (10min)
