Definition from Oxford languages

It involves

- Finding the right place, shape, direction etc.

- Doing the work to find it rather than just hoping it sorts itself out

- So you can know it, reflect on it, and change it if needed

- Once orientation has happened, going forward on your major project will be clearer, more meaningful, more purposeful, probably quicker and more efficient.

- When your creative thinking involves open-ended, playful and explorative research, you still have that underlying knowing of what it is you are looking for.

Using the method of triangulation will help with orientation.

• Measuring just one line of sight has room for errors

• 2 lines confirm where the point should go

• A 3rd line can further confirm it is the right point

- The more people who observe your designs and theories the better the ideas.

- Everyone uses their different backgrounds to bring new ideas and developments to the design.

- Coming at your project from 3 angles will help to develop ideas and find the best results.
