01 / Begin

Choose a journey you can describe.

Start at an entrance or another natural beginning. Follow an activity such as reaching a seat, putting down a bag or moving between a working surface and storage.

Write which people, objects and openings the journey involves. Keep the example ordinary enough that you can return to it without staging a special situation.

02 / Draw

Keep the room and the activity in the same view.

Sketch the boundary, the openings and the main objects. Mark the route actually taken, including the movement of a door or a chair.

Add the temporary things that affect the journey. Keep their role visible rather than removing them from the drawing to make the room look simpler.

03 / Compare

Change one relationship.

Try a different position, a clearer grouping or a more distinct boundary for an activity. Keep the rest of the drawing stable enough to make the comparison useful.

Describe what becomes easier, quieter or more separate. Notice whether the change creates another difficulty elsewhere in the room.

04 / Return

Review the arrangement in use.

Follow the same journey again after the room has been used normally. Ask whether the intended change remains useful when the ordinary objects return.

Keep a short note about what worked and what needs another look. Let the next adjustment answer that specific question.
