The Case Study

Captions available

The idea

A case study examines a single person, group, event, or organization in depth, trading breadth for detail no wider design would capture.

In practice

One factory closure, traced across two years, shows a sequence a hundred surveyed closures would flatten.

Where people slip

A case study generates ideas to test; it does not establish what is typical.
