Challenge – 

 I am a student of Interior and spatial design at University of the Free State , India and as the course suggests I   decided to challenge myself in the field of space . Recently , I was working on a project of Adaptive   reuse in Jaipur . The project was held for two months with the final designs still awaiting submission . It   was an individual project focussing on re utilising the building in a way that speaks of Jaipur itself .   In   the same , my inspiration was the local sustainable transport of the area . I wanted people to have a   better experience of hiring a ride , away from all the congestion one generally notices in the city . Thus ,   one of my major aims became the experience of the transport itself , through which I wanted to   establish a connect along with making people understand the transport itself . 

 Hence , I took the experience required as a challenge to address through the tool of storytelling . 

 Selection - 

 Staying in India , from everyday conversations to the speeches or formal addresses , I tend to find loads   of stories . Thus , in a space that speaks of India itself , I decided to establish the connect through   storytelling . Storytelling is a design tool that aims to convey a message along with establishing a   connect . 

 Application – 

 In the design , I started with formulating a specific path that each visitor has to follow while entering   the space . This helped to ensure that no one missed any step in the journey or story . The space   started with the entrance that guided one to the meet and greet area . The entrance symbolises   standing on the pavement in wait for the transport . The meet and greet area symbolise the time   when the wait is over and the process of hiring starts with a greeting . This area then leads to the   information area that is representative of the time spent with the transport owner talking about the   destination and other details . The information space leads into a transition space that aims to   represent the sway motion that one creates while getting into an auto or a rickshaw . This is   represented through an installation on the wall . This area guides one to the open area where one   spends their waiting time . This space represents the time spent in a local transport which is full of   excitement . Reading , music , food etc are some of the services provided to replicate the activities one   generally indulges in , throughout their journey in a local transport . Leaving the space through an exit   marked the end of the journey . 

 After designing the idea , at the time of presentation , I applied storytelling again to enhance the   already set connect to the everyday lives of the jurors . For e.g. – one such story being how waiting for   a hire on the pavement is a hassle . While waiting in all that noise and congestion you are forced to   change locations continuously . Sometimes a cleaner and at others people who bump into you   because they are in a hurry . Such stories along with the journey helped me make people see local   transport in different light and also made the conversation more engaging . 

 Insights - 

 So , in the project I decided to apply the tool of storytelling not only in the explanation of my idea but   also in the idea itself to make people feel a bit more connected to the space . Creating a beginning and 

 an end helped me align my story with the space . I was able to achieve my goal of providing a better   experience along with an emotional connect to the space itself . The tool also made it easier for   everyone else to understand my idea . It also helped making the space more engaging for the visitors .   Thus , I can say that the tool of storytelling not only helped me design an idea but also helped me in   explaining the same effectively . 

 Using the tool made me realise the power of storytelling itself i.e. how effective it can be when used   at the right time and place . The tool not only helps in engaging people but also makes things easier to   convey and understand . Seeing stories being so commonly used in India , I finally was able to   understand the latent power of it as a tool in design thinking . Now I can analyse the opportunities and   execute them a bit more effectively . This course made me see a lot of things in the new but at the   same time it categorised all the terms and processes I have been using into a coherent and logical set ,   making the process a little more understandable and easier to execute . 

 Approach – 

 I think that after using the tool , I have come to realise that all design tools have latent possibilities . In   this case , I was able to use storytelling in two ways , but if seen and studied in more depth I think more   opportunities await . For e.g. as an alternative approach - to enhance the experience visualisation   could be another tool at hand . Also design tools can be used in combination to enhance the effect   even more . E.g. In this case storytelling could be combined with visualisation . 

 Thus , personally I would like to explore the tools more in the opportunities that lie ahead .
