Today was all about translating ideas into actual things. We started by reviewing yesterday’s solution sketches. There were plenty of strong possibilities, so the challenge was deciding which elements could come together to form clear, shared concepts.

Day 2: Today we’ve been thinking about audiences, values and what it really means to work “interspatially”. We began by exploring some of the National Holocaust Museum’s "ecosystems" and discussing the opportunities and challenges of connecting histories across different places.

Five days, many hand-drawings and hands-on buildings, several prototypes—and a lot of ideas to take home. This morning, the teams presented what they created during an intense week of storytelling, experimenting, testing and rethinking.

What do you bring to a design sprint? Our participants come from very different disciplines, so we asked some of them to name three things they bring to the room. Different skills, different perspectives—and plenty to learn from one another. This is what interdisciplinary collaboration looks like.

Today, we went volumetric. From Stephan Bernardes’ introduction to volumetric filmmaking, to hands-on support from Franziska Maria Weser, Moritz Huson and Andreea-Cristina Mircea, the teams explored how to turn their ideas into experiences that can be entered, viewed and tested.
