I LIVE MY HOME
a small research about your home habits, routine, experience
your name: .........................................................................
INTRODUCTION Hello, I’m Edoardo, a master student in Design for Interaction at TU Delft. I’m currently developing a project for private home, and this is the first step of my designing process. With this booklet, I will try with your help to make a “context mapping” of people houses. A context mapping is like an exploration of the environment where people spend their lives: every project has a different scenario. Since I’m designing for private home, I need to discover all the particular elements that happens in the time people spend at their own home. This booklet is not only about your house, but also about who you live with, what you usually do and which special experiences or activities you like to have hen you are home. With this booklet you could show me which is your daily life in your house, and this information will become a powerful suggestion and guide for my further design. Thank you so much for your help! Edoardo

DAILY WEEK In this part you are asked to describe your weekly routine, it is a sort of diary of what you do and how, and about all the appliances you usually employ in your home. It is divided in three parts: one for study/work day, one for Saturday and one for Sunday. You can stick on the timeline the activity you usually do, the objects you use in your house, and the home task you accomplish.
