Thanks to everyone that helped me answering in this thread (and obviously thanks to Marko that opened it).
Eli you answered to my question very well. The analysis of the property of an object or a material is fundamental for its use. If LSP could help the cooperation, confrontation and discussion about properties and not only business strategies,…[Read more] -

Hi Mattia,
I’m sure you could use the methodology for exploring the qualities or attributes required for a new umbrella or discussing the principles that an umbrella should respect: is tensile strength more important than impermeability or ultraviolet protection?
What sort of people use umbrellas?
How do they use them?
When do they use them?
Do…[Read more] -

Hello everybody.
I’am Mattia.
As Marko suggested, it would be useful to give a deeper explaination of my case.
I am a Material Scientist and my job is the researcher in various projects that verge on materials development and charaterization for various applications.
I’ll now make an example:
Let’s make that my team and I brain-storm about new…[Read more] -

I’ve studied environmental science, but I think it really depends which area of science.
My personal opinion is that: in e.science LSP can be useful for developing measurement strategy or research strategy, or to “model” the possible outcomes. Sadly I have never seen a e.research where LSP was used.

Hi Marko,
I think you’ll find a few cases of research in the social sciences (e.g. the work done by David Gauntlett, Lorenzo Cantoni, etc.)I can’t really see how it would work in the natural sciences, because it requires people.
All the best,

Balint replied to the topic Practical Concern: how to keep your sets organized in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 9 years, 9 months ago
@Eli: ah, ok, i get it now :) I’m quite sure you can use the sets multiple times if u want. There are only rules about the name and logo (beside LSP training docs/rules), I couldn’t find any other legal doc on TLG/LSP sites. To be honest I don’t understand why was it obligatory before to buy new sets every time.…[Read more]

@Balint: I was just giving the “official” answer. :-) If that has changed since the introduction of Open Source, it’s news to me. The LEGO Group certainly has written to me informing that I can now re-use bricks with my clients. Doesn’t mean I don’t, but…
It’s a bit like asking “what are your techniques for avoiding speed traps, when you’re driving?”

Balint replied to the topic Practical Concern: how to keep your sets organized in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 9 years, 9 months ago
@Jan: I have similar problems time to time. It also depends on the type of workshop you are facilitating and the sets you are using. So far my solutions:
1. sorting head: http://www.target.com/p/lego-sort-and-store-storage-bin-head/-/A-13718711
Collect left over bricks, sort out at home.2. plastic bag + table: I always ask participants not to…[Read more]

Hi Jan,
I would imagine there are as many answers to your question as there are to the question “How long is a piece of string”. However, there can only be one official answer and that is that each customer should purchase new material for each workshop. If you do multiple workshops with the same customer, the customer can spend the time sorting…[Read more]

Is there some practical advice for the following:
I have multiple LSP kits and if you use them heavily (and correctly!) all the kits might be mixed up by the end of the workshop. What is the best way to get them organized again in such a way that at the start of the next workshop (next day?) I can start with similar kits? (note: one kit has 214 pieces…) -
Balint replied to the topic LSP for urban design and architecture in the forum Serious Play Pro Forum 9 years, 9 months ago
@Marko – Yes, that’s the set. Book is quite interesting and have some nice ideas as well.
@Sebastian – according to my experiences for urban planning, building modelling (ideation) you might need more exact structures, less metaphors. The 21050 AS offers a more specific brickset, but it’s not about 1:1 models, not like other architecture sets.…[Read more]

Hi!
Not sure WHY you want to use a different set. The KEY of LSP is the metaphor not a 1:1 model.. I think the standard LSP kit is powerful enough to fulfill your needs.Best

@Balint – I understand you have in mind the LEGO Architecture Studio 21050 Playset: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPPPCVM/?tag=seriousplay-20 ? Given that it consists of 1210 mostly generic bricks, plates and windows then looks like really an interesting idea how to combine it with Landscape and Identity kit to start constructing interesting landscapes.…[Read more]

Have you ever used the Architecture (21050) set for LSP? I have the idea to extend it with some bricks from Identity kit, and somehow specify it for architectural needs…

Hi Juan,
I worked in the past with architects – both students and practitioners.
With one of them, we wrote an e-book on using LSP in co-housing – it’s free here http://b4bricks.org/media/handbook-for-co-housing/ sadly it’s in Italian, but maybe with Google translate you can read it easily.
If you have problems, please, let me know!What were…[Read more]

Hi all. I´m Juan from Colombia. I´m wondering if are here any architects, planners of urban designers that use LSP in their design processes, I´m quite curious about starting to use this method but I want to hear from you first! Thanks!
