The magic of timeboxing
summary
Uses strict timeboxing to deliver a conceptual design for a 25,000 m², 140 m-long university building in 14 days with a six-person, student-heavy team. Runs participatory workshops with 70 participants, builds three competing concepts, makes mock-ups, and compiles requirements and priorities. Tools: printed scenarios, exhibition-style feedback, and over 2,000 post-it notes. Outcome: a presentable concept meeting a July 1 deadline, one all-nighter, and a lesson that shipping beats chasing perfection.
