A Studio Model
The seed of an idea for an interdisciplinary design practice that goes out of its way to recognise and affirm "goodness" in the world while agitating for needed change. It is a model that values diversity of approach and personality, and attempts to avoid the well trodden patterns of "conservative" and "radical" behaviour.
"Sch/ism": A divided design studio
Pleasure/Provocation
Affirmation/Agitation
Creation/Destruction
----------------------
Division 1.
pleasure/affirmation/creation
Approach:
- Celebrate the simple pleasures of human life
- Contribute to relationships and fullness of life
- Use humour, fun, whimsy, culture, history (shared experience)
----------------------
Division 2.
provocation/agitation/destruction
Approach:
- Criticise complacency
- Make invisible problems visible
- Destabilise assumptions
- Use anger, intellect, sarcasm, urgency and vitriol
All members of the studio spend time working in either division.
Sometimes division-specific projects, sometimes shared projects.
Sometimes client projects, sometimes speculative projects.

very different fields of expertice. Together- and through time- we hope –
this gives us a good picture of radical communication culture.
