Service Design Show

Using spaces to support change / Scott Witthoft / Episode #81


Listen Later

What happens when you start using spaces as a distinct design material rather than a just designing a space? That's exactly the question Scott Witthoft is has been exploring for the last decade.
Scott wrote the book Make Space along with Scott Doorley back in 2012 to provide a starting guide on how we can take control of the spaces around us and shape them in a way they support our needs. We talk about what has happend since the book was published and what Scott has learned years that have gone by about this topic.
In this episode we also explore the notion of prototyping spaces. Scott shares his ideas on how to actually do that. And as you'll learn according to Scott prototyping should be treated with the same care and intent as the final output. You cannot slack here if you want your prototype to yield some useful results.
Finally we dig into the world of small-scale builders. Especially people who create high end guitars. We look at what we can learn as designers from how this community practices and shares their craft.
The topics in this episode are on the fringes of service design. Because that's the place where we can find most inspiration! :)
