Uncertainty, crisis and chaos; community, practice and process. It is a problem solving activity so we need to start with a problem.
The urban condition. How are people living urbanly across the globe? Can we make something to contribute to the well-being of the citizens. What about the ecological balance in the urban environment? Do we desing for business or design for society.
There is going to be a massive shift in travel, living spaces, and storage spaces. WHat will be important about the design of something - longevity or style.
My Ideas so far, notes form the slow is beautiful presentation:
I like the concept of 'Slow is beautiful', thinking about amazing quality and taking inspiration from the past to take on to the future. Ideas before the mass production and fast turnover of fashons of clothing - the heritage of British fashions.
How will the fashion industry react to climate change, the shortage of cotton and other raw materials? How could the workforce be affected by shifting supply chains? How might technology change fashion and fashion production? Will we reuse and remanufacture clothing?
The document on 'Slow is beautiful' talks about a rise in hand crafting and use of wool as a hygenic, natural and durable fabric. Also the ideas of accessories becoming more important because they can dress up the same outfit in different styles.
I found a link to the 'Slow textiles group' who are very interesting. Thier ethos is about really creating an identity around what you are as a designer so that all the work created is deep and meaningful. 'Developing a strong cultural identity which celebrates personal vision within a collective and cultural setting' I predict this will be improtant for the future.
Just some quick words thought of in conjunction to this:
Embroidery, handcrafting, accessories, jewellery, body adornment, local, no waste, slow and considered production, past influences, heritage, meditative process, timeless textiles, changable to trends.
