That way people could add, modify and eliminate ideas in rapid succession as they moved through the creative process. The ideas could be expressed in color on a white background, much like using paper, and unlike the inverted contrast scheme presented by traditional blackboards. The technology rapidly improved and the first Radiant Wall was introduced using sheets of porcelain steel laminated onto hollow core doors which were mounted onto an existing structural wall. It measured roughly sixteen feet long and stood nearly seven feet high including the baseboard. The Radiant Wall allowed a group of people to diagram and annotate large scale, complex problems in a single display that was visible to all at once and easily editable.
Flip charts are too small.
Rolls of butcher paper are uneditable and won't allow information to keep pace with the rate of change inherent in the creative process. The WorkWall was a radical invention, and most people who used one became dependent upon it as a support to their individual and collective creativity and productivity. The wall is composed of ten curved four-foot panels with six vertical feet of working surface, or 240 square feet of work surface for the entire wall. A video and teleconferencing bay occupies the center of the wall. The wall includes a technology chase built into the base and rolls on wheels for flexible positioning.
