Step 1: Identify Risks

As you can see in the picture of our in-progress SWOT board that was held in the studio we placed our beige cards very strategically. Each element on these place cards were categorized into five groups: Red signified the social aspect, Yellow signified the housing elements, Green signified the ecological influences, Blue represented the communication resources, and Black depicted that the aspect may have fit into more than one category. These categories are represented via the thumbtacks that are used to hold the place cards onto the board (as pictured above). These place cards were then placed under either the strength, weakness, opportunity, or threat column. Any aspects that may have fit under multiple columns are shown as being placed between the columns.
