“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”— Walt Disney

“The only source of knowledge is experience.” — Albert Einstein


***


You have been studying by reading books, articles, or other written materials.


▼In this context


It is difficult to get out of the situation when you are stuck.

• It is not easy to change your understanding without interaction between you and your environment.
• It is difficult to foresee all of possible challenges before carrying out your plan.
• Creation and practice make you aware of your limitations.


▼Therefore


Deepen your thought process by making prototypes and doing fieldwork.

• Making prototypes with easily manipulated medium by Prototyping (Iba and Sakamoto) (Prototyping (Iba and Sakamoto)), and you will improve your ideas and gain new insight.
• Acquire knowledge from doing fieldwork by Field Diving (Field Diving), and the knowledge will help you to deepen your thoughts.
