I hope to ...

• understand the models and modellers' needs
  -- capture questions
  -- stimulate questions
  -- listen & learn plenty

• design informed spatial graphics that address and develop these questions
  -- specific : hierarchical grid for Scotland
  -- generic : apply, adapt, develop ... implement

Ideally, I'd like to experiment with recent ideas on design study as a mode of enquiry by taking ...

"opportunities for researchers to contribute knowledge that extends beyond visualization idioms and software"
(Rogers et al., 2019)

• design study - examine the relationships between modellers and data through visualization
  -- across groups (data, problem, people, context)
  -- with others (you lot)
  This requires collaboration, documentation & planning. ⬇️

➡️ e.g. Recommendations from Rogers et al (2019)

1. establish systematic reflective practices that include reflexive notes, reflective transcriptions, and artifact curation;
2. build and maintain a trace of diverse research artifacts; and
3. argue for rigor from evidence, not just methods.

"Our work shows that adopting regular, systematic, reflective practices within a design study can improve the research methods, domain understanding, and visualization designs."
(Rogers et al., 2019)
