The gleaning studio: A space for redirection and reflection

There is a difficult challenge for design practitioners when establishing ways of applying Fry's (2009) strategy of redirection. Redirection is complex and multifaceted and requires an expansive view of the requirements for future sustainment alongside ways of interpreting these understandings within design process. When redirection demands so much of practitioners, the task can seem insurmountable and a starting point difficult to find. Within this paper, I suggest that reflective practice can aid in this pursuit, and through my own practice-based research, offer insights when applying reflective techniques to assist my own redirection.
