Crafting Questions

February 3, 2026

It's been quite challenging over the past few days to do some meaningful research for my topics, especially as my studio class has been taking up a lot of my time. It's been quite hard to narrow down my topics, but I tried to use the feedback from Thursday to help me do so.

The first question I asked was quite different from the others, as it had a clear problem and solution. I have been tempted to eliminate it, as it seems a bit less unique and feels pretty broad, but I'm still keeping it in the back of my mind due to the potential to be narrowed down. I'm hoping that, through researching other topics on this, I could potentially come up with a more specific question that I would be interested in.

This question also had some problems, being very broad and more of an open-ended research topic. I am still very interested in this topic, but I think that I need to find a better question to ask about it. The comments provided a lot of feedback that I could definitely use to further my research and narrow down the prompt.

I also plan to delve deeper into this one as it is very personable to me and has combined a couple of my interests into one. I was specifically interested in Littlest Pet Shop houses as they reflected a surreal architectural style that society doesn't expect from reality. It shows how unpopular imaginative architecture is, leading to lots of questions as to why this happens.

Overall, I plan to delve deeper into research later this week, so I will have some good ideas stored in my brain before travel week. I'm hoping that more research will lead to better inspiration and formatting for these questions. I plan to look at prior research that is similar to these topics to narrow my ideas down to what I am specifically interested in.
