We were tasked with re-designing a carrying device that better fit the needs of Whitman College students. The definition of “carrying device” was left up to our interpretation. This meant we had a lot of different avenues to approach the design problem or how we would even start thinking about what questions to ask.
We were tasked with creating a design for the Penrose Library at Whitman College. We were selected to work on the Cafe space, an underused by the Whitman community. The library staff want it to be a casual study space. Our task was to transform this underutilized space into a destination spot for students.
