[Doing a bit of a post purge today, after being sick for the past wee while, apologies!]
As I mentioned, my two break down topics are DELVE and One Mans Waste. Let's take a better look at them both so I can pick one out of confusion..
One Mans Waste
Design a way to eliminate the concept of waste within a developed society by promoting it as a valuable material source.
Alright, initial thoughts. I liked the idea behind this brief because it's looking at reusing our waste as something valuable and doing something good for our environment.
I looked at what's in our waste. Plastics, paper, food, cans, glass. That's the easy bit. It was a lot more difficult to think of something that I could do with this waste. Make a new tailoring material, a new building material? I just couldn't get anything out!
I started looking at the idea of reusing our waste to make decorations around the home. A new chair, table, light, some sort of statue, weird growing tank.
As much as I tried, I couldn't think of any 'new' inspiration. Scrapped it.
DELVE
Bio-Design and Bio-Art are product types or inventions where consumer product design and craft meet biomedical science principles.
Holy, did that sound complicated. I can see why people didn't go for this one. However, it interested me. I wanted to make something unique. What exactly? I wasn't sure. It seemed like such a wide field, so many possibilites. Different ways of bone repair, helping aid injury, artificial organs and limbs, none of those really sparked me though. I wanted a strong message. Something interactive. Something to make people THINK more actively then passively.
In terms of medical and science, How could this 'idea' help?
In terms of decorative/visual, How would it fit and be accepted in society?
I want something to show. Something different. I needed to go deeper..
IN CONCLUSION. I'm going to put my focus on the DELVE brief. I want to show society that our environment can provide so much more to us then we currently comprehend. Based off the ideas I'll give in the next post!
