Revisiting an old friend
It seems strange that January was only about three months ago. I’m currently working on some documentation for my Applied Dreams project for Hitachi (the one I can’t talk about, remember?) that we finished in January. As I’ve been working through it, I’ve found myself getting excited about the concept all over again. It’s a nice feeling.
There comes a point in a project where you’re just sick and tired of dealing with it, no matter how cool it is or seemed to be at the beginning. My project for Hitachi wasn’t like that at all (OK, so I basically developed it in four days and presented it on the fifth, so there wasn’t much time for me to get bored with it). But then came Service Design and I essentially forgot all about the Hitachi project.
While on vacation I had some time to think about my potential thesis topics, and I came back with an old favorite. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, but I’m not exactly sure what to do with it. The concept is in a really difficult and challenging area, and I think I’m a bit nuts to pursue it, but the challenge of it beckons as it has for quite some time now.
And then I sat down to do some more work on the Hitachi project…
I suppose there are worse things than to be excited about multiple projects. Now I just need to find the time to work on them. Right now is the quiet before the storm: Salone di Mobile is happening this week, and Tecno (the furniture company) commissioned the school to present work from the Strangely Familiar exhibition. And I’m volunteering for another event in the San Siro stadium on the 14th. Next week we’re also starting the Mattel project…
Well, first thing’s first: time to get Hitachi documentation out of the way! And thus ends this post…
