Untangling the threads

Undoing our preconceived ideas and becoming open to the new

How do we approach a design? Is there a standard protocol we follow? (Mostly, a thorough analysis of a numerous factors leads to a comprehensive design resolution) 

Can we break away from that pattern?  The studio helps one shed the burden of analysis and adopt a variety of approaches through iterative design explorations.  The aim is to bring out the 'intuitive' and  'creative' traits of the designer and equip them with a handy tool - different ways to approach a design.
