The diagram outlines a process involving seven steps: student intention, linguistic articulation, prompt crafting, model mediation, generated image withholding, interpretation, and design judgment. It shows the relationships and flow between these steps, emphasizing the value of intervals over outputs. The diagram includes elements like critical dialogue, conceptual development, alternative framings, new directions of inquiry, and embodied material explorations. It also highlights the cyclical nature of design as recursive re-articulation.The withheld image: deliberate absence as a pedagogical strategy for slowing AI-mediated design inquiry
