Having two industrial designers, you would think would make for a very strong industrial charette. However neither me or the other industrial student posses leader like qualities or particularly enjoy being in charge. So i think its fair to say we struggled a bit leading the group. It didn't feel comfortable or natural as the group had already clearly established a leader. At least with the two of us we were able to help each other and do it together rather than alone. So this was quite reassuring, it would have been much more difficult to do alone. In the end I feel like we got some good results from the team. Although ARCH2 spent most of the group brainstorm session talking to another group. I think this may be due to him avoiding the ideas and drawing stage. I believe his weakness to be in the early on parts of design, perhaps he lacks creativity or imagination and is more comfortable in the technical detail side of things. This is understandable but it would have been appreciated if had at least tried or been involved in discussion. He had nothing to show by the end of the class and hadn't contributed to anything. Both of the industrial designers were out of their comfort zone in leading the group so i think it would have been fair for him to do the same and work with the rest of us.
