Make a simple zonal plan of a room, school grounds, or garden {showing frequency of visits/use from zones 0 (home); 1 visited daily; 2 used 2x per week; 3 used weekly; 4 visited less frequently to 5 (wild zone from which nothing is taken)}. |

Play with 'random assembly' with cards (each person has a card with an element drawn on it) move around the room putting different elements (identified in your survey) together in unusual ways (using different prepositions) to see if something new can emerge (e.g. wormery +in+raised bed = worm tower in raised bed). |

Create simple permaculture designs using a recognised design process (e.g. SADIMET, survey, analyse, design, implement, evaluate, tweak). Choose a pattern which is most likely to meet your function (e.g. branching pattern for paths). Try using that pattern in your design. |
