Abstract:
Data is the fundamental building blocks for decision making, design development and
monitoring the efficiency and effectiveness of projects. Yet data is often not respected and
the meaning that data provides is not understood. Understanding data is critical to
ensuring that the correct data is used for each specific purpose. This session aims to
demonstrate how data should be considered in the wider perspective of designs and the
potential consequences of its misuse. Using Critical Thinking, one begins to understand
the wider perspective of the beneficial uses and limitations of data sets.
