Design Thinking

As a studio that places as much value on raw talent as experience, MARSDEN Collective loves bringing on interns.

Being a relatively tight knit company, MARSDEN are realistic about how much time we can dedicate to each and every budding individual that comes to intern with us. That’s why we continually support student designers by allowing for paid work experience opportunities in addition to our core collective team, because for us it’s about quality over quantity.

It’s been raining for four days straight in the sunshine state. Today is Tuesday and the weather man is saying it’s not going to ease up until Friday. So here, I sit, Googling words like sunshine, summer, outdoors, trees, Barbados, as I try and put a cap on the growing cabin fever feels. As often happens as one trawls through the Internet mindlessly, I stumble across something completely off topic, a tree house. Not just any treehouse though, Microsoft’s new ‘meeting space’ treehouse. OK Microsoft, you’ve got my attention.

Over the last six months, I've been gathering insights into my own unique personality and personal values, the things that light my fire and drag me down.  One of the most recent "Aha!" moments for me, involved looking at my personal values and our Organisational Values and then digging a bit deeper in order to understand the 'behaviours' of these values.

The influence of our environment on behaviour

Think about your drive to work this morning. Was it stressful? Punctuated by car horns, a broken heater and your dirty car interior? Or was it peaceful? Soothing music playing on your radio, a comfortable car seat cushioning your body and your cup holder; cocooning that perfect latte you made for the commute.

Materials make up the majority of the built industry but are often one of the least understood elements.

There is exciting potential for designers to resurrect long-forgotten building methods and materials and pair them with innovative, modern technology.

We also see the ability to shake off existing connotations associated with materials and what they can do.
