Worked example
Imagine a child pinning current school projects over a desk, where older work and reminders have accumulated into an unreadable wall.
Limit the display to current work and one reminder zone, with a folder for finished pieces. Let the learner choose what stays visible and check that the display is readable from the desk.
How to test it
Update the display using the learner's normal materials and check that it remains legible.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place sinks and messy work together, with drying and display surfaces away from splash zones.
- Detail
- Use washable finishes, task lighting with good color clarity, and accessible drying racks.
- Trade-off
- More sink and cleanup capacity uses space for making and display.
- Trace a project from setup through cleanup
- Check drying work does not obstruct exits or sightlines
