MT PROJECT
"We are all a big research group, learning through exploration"

Brief: Add value/different types of added value. Try to answer the what/why/when/where/howquestions

Ideas: quantity over quality to begin with

Within Chelsea, make up a list of things & possible ways of adding value (keeping in mind intrinsic and intangible values)

For the final outcome: in an A5 (portrait) format, communicate the whatever we´ve added value to for a catalogue page.

Catalogue:

1. Organize it

2. Show process of documentation

3. Before & After

4. Use text, not just images

Process/Outcome:

For the Melissa Thompson (MT) Project, Laura Jacobs and I partnered up to explore the Chelsea grounds and find something to add value to. The first day we spent with Melissa, we had a few ideas which led to choosing one where we would add value to a lonely/not very useful flowerpot by planting seeds/herbs/vegetables or fruits of some sort in it. This is so people could use the pot and interact with it rather than it being there, completely useless.

We did come across some difficulties, a big one actually, which was finding the seeds to plant.
Because winter is approaching, seeds aren´t sold in normal supermarkets but only garden centres (which we didn't have time to get to) 
SO carrots were bought because they have a nice green bit at the top and last for some time.
We planted these in some pots by the security gate across from the coffee shop at Chelsea, where most people enter the university, keeping in mind they can pick a veggie on their way to five a day (or something of that sort).
