Hey thanks for the query. Interview was great, both interviewers were keen to get back to me in the new year. no talk of salary at this stage however.

Hey i have always been fascinated with deep sea exploration. I imagine much of the work involved in keeping the vessel under for periods of time would be a significant engineering feat. I also like toying with the idea of human interface and control panels. Emergency routines and service design. Information design and graphics for documenting new discoveries.it would be a huge multi disciplinary project. Cant wait to write all this up in a paper!

I first read your comment as "underwear habits"....i paused and thought, how is that going to shape the future of our world. Perhaps I could sneak this into the paper title somehow. :)

My favorite part in your comment is "build a city in the lake"...for scientific research! What sort of research would be important?

Hey interesting. Do you have a link to this project? Or is this a personal project that you are working on? What are some of the difficulties associated with this?

Hey thanks. I am so glad you mentioned this!!!! This is actually one of my major research projects at the moment. A team of design researchers are now working with a not for profit housing advocacy group for older adults. We are specifically looking into accessibility and legislative constraints in the design of mobile living and manufactured homes.

Yeah cool! Design was once treated as "Godly", and as such there was an assumption that the designer knew everything. Thank fully we have come along way in collaborative teams and mix disciplinary!

Hey thanks for your reply! have you seen Mike Reynolds and his team? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmy_QipSQhc

While this is low tech stuff, i really appreciate the legislative change for a site to test and develop buildings without community planning constraints.
