During the third meeting with the residents of the Agavestraat we showed a presentation of our final concept. Our goal of this meeting was to get to know what the residents, our coach and the contact persons of the municipality thought of our concept and what kind of feedback they can give. To discover that we used the ‘shine & grow’ method: everyone writes on sticky paper what they find positive and negative about the final concept and after that we put all ideas together on one big paper. Then the different ideas must be categorized depending on their content: for example, suggestions to improve our aesthetic design, suggestions for the technical production and suggestions for extra elements we could add have to be placed together so we can structure the feedback. To include a more interactive part with the residents we printed photos of the street with some illustrations of our concept in it, and asked the people to draw on it what they would like to add and what they would like to change. We told that we have a final concept but that this doesn’t mean that it’s finished yet. Feedback from communication with the residents is always useful when rethinking a concept over and over again.
