I really like this piece of work because what it says is to take a few old ideas and combine them into one new one, this is not copying an idea, but it is making them better. Now a days you can't be original with ideas, because in someways the idea as already been done, not the exact same but similar.
This part of the lecture was really interesting as it is a method of how to have an idea.
This process method was by a guy called Graham Wallas, in his book, the art of thought (1926).
He called this the four-stage process model
Preparation
The problem to be carefully solved with resources to confront the task.
Incubation
drawing upon the findings the reason of the problem is figured out and become a subconscious activity.
Illumination
The problems transition from subconscious to conscious thoughts
Verification
Solutions get tested and applied if shown viable.
Then you go back over the method from 4 to 3, then 4 to 2 and then 2 to 1
Example
On the friday prior to this lecture, in our studio session we were given 3 sticky notes and told to write down three things we relate to sense of place, I can't remember what I put, but I asked fellow course mates what they put and the most popular ones were: food, home and family. There was some obscure answers that were more person to that person who wrote it on there sticky note. the point of this was to find the most common solution. Then we diverged the problem, then evaluated the ideas, chose a solution then processing a method by following steps.
look at it analytically
look at it objectively
look it subjectively
find the relationships in it
find the metaphors on it
