Comments on: Quantity Equals Quality if you Fail a lot! http://www.designsojourn.com/quantity-equals-quality-if-you-fail-a-lot/ The Business of Strategic Industrial Design Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:06:06 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: ky http://www.designsojourn.com/quantity-equals-quality-if-you-fail-a-lot/comment-page-1/#comment-63638 ky Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:45:05 +0000 http://www.designsojourn.com/?p=1109#comment-63638 What a refreshing and enlightening experiment! Many times I feel like I fall under the quality group mindset of theorizing and planning instead of actually doing. Instead of getting my ideas on paper and then translating those to the model stage, it seems as though they become trapped within my unconscious efforts at perfectionism. At the same time, the results are not surprising given the medium. Ceramics works with a limited number of materials and processes--a very craft oriented discipline. It's hard to say if the results will be replicated with other more delicate mediums. Nevertheless, the key point in this experiment is that the quantity group learned from the many mistakes they made--and that's something that applies to everything we do.

Even top schools don't have many like that, too. This is valuable post. I couldn't agree more with the whole process of making mistakes. We need more teachers like that.

This is valuable post. I couldn’t agree more with the whole process of making mistakes.
