- The size of the the team should be limited to 4 persons. Each team will visit 3 families. the interview procedure and other activities to relate the 'interior' with the outside environment/city/Japanese culture as a whole will be determined.
- From my past experience, really getting into others' home need some time. So we don't need to be too aggressive and ambitious and want to bring everything on board in such a short period of time. While we get too exciting by what we have seen, may be we can try to slow down, sip some tea, sit quietly in others' home, to listen, to think, to compare and to respect, .... Home living is all about how to sit back, relax and enjoy.
