Consider a digital wayfinding system for E14 or the E14/E15 complex. The system should address the needs of the many different users of the building - staff, researchers, students, guests. Think about how each constituency makes use of the space and how that influences your design. The system should do all of the things that any good system does: clarify the arrangement of spaces within the building and guide people to the places they want to go. In addition, you can think about new functions - locating friends, encouraging collaboration, connecting the real and the virtual, providing greater openness and transparency, etc. Your design should also speak to the kind of place that the Media Lab is (or wants to be).

Find and prepare a presentation of one positive and one negative example of spatial information; That is a spatial situation in combination with information which relates to the space, may that be typographic, audible, tactile etc. (Examples for this could be signage in a building, a map of a specific space or a memorial like the Vietnam Memorial we showed, etc)
Find a particularly beautiful, useful, unusual, or illuminating example of the integration of information and space, and find one example of where bad integration yielded/yields disastrous results. Prepare diagrams and analysis as necessary to explain your choices. Be prepared to give a 2 min presentation about your examples.
