In response to our prof’s comments regarding the first draft of our moodboard, we focused our research on:
– the fact that technology being more accessible than hospitals in some countries;
– the problem in Africa, Ebola and the lack of resources;
– concentrate on research for the future (not anchored in today’s world, but in a 100 years, what will it be like?).

For the start of the final assignment of our Discursive Design class, we had to consult the writings of Anthony Dunne in Hertzian Tales (chapters 1 to 3), as well as those of Anthony Dunne & Fiona Ray from Speculative Everything (chapters 1 & 2).
Our initial line of thought is explained in our proposal. The research and ideation is presented by Roxanne Desrosiers, Hannah Materne, Celeste Nakaï, Veronique Pelletier & Hailey Turcato.
For the third assignment, we had to create a 3D mockup & 1 page advertisement of an technologically enhanced / performing object as a “smart” device that creates new user experiences, connectivity and/or
enriches everyday activities (cooking, eating, traveling, working, sitting, washing, etc.).
Our project is described in this Performing Object PDF. The research is presented by Roxanne Desrosiers, Celeste Nakai, Véronique Pelletier & Hailey Turcato.
Glass is a solid-like material that is used in numerous applications in our daily lives. This material is made from natural and abundant raw materials such as sand, soda ash and limestone that are melted at a very high temperature to form a new material. Glass that is crushed and ready to be remelted is called cullet (furnace-ready scrap glass). As an inert material, it guarantees that food and beverages placed in glass containers are not stained by the packaging. It is also commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry to preserve the properties of medicine, and in the construction industry for its energy-saving properties.
Glass is a sustainable, fully recyclable material which provides great environmental benefits. Indeed, it is the sustainable packaging choice: once a glass object is created, it remains one hundred percent recyclable for life. It is a pure material which stays that way, since it is safe to use over and over again. However, when not recycled, a glass bottle can take anywhere from 4000 to 1 million years to break down in landfills.
Almost no other man-made material provides so many possibilities across so many industries and disciplines. Its applications are constantly evolving and when combined with other materials, glass can be used for high-tech applications in architecture and insulation. One relatively new use for glass as a smart material is aerogel. The latter is not like conventional foams, but is a special porous material with extreme microporosity. This means that it is composed of individual features only a few nanometers in size which makes it extremely light. Among other applications, is used by NASA to capture fast moving star dust.

We had fun imagining such an extreme context in this assignment.

As Christmas rapidly approaches, I thought it would be of interest to share this new eco-friendly initiative from fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. In fact, As part of her sustainable forward thinking, she has created scarves for high street beauty store Lush to use instead of wrapping paper.
Since 2005, the beauty brand, which produces handmade cosmetics, has decided to replace the paper with scarves as part of a worldwide project to cut back on gift paper. Sadly, we are responsible of using an impressive 365,000 kilometers of wrapping paper every Christmas.
Christmas is about giving, not about wrapping, packaging and waste. We’ve been encouraging our customers to use fabrics […] – half of our products don’t even need packaging – they come “naked”.
– Mo Constantine OBE, co-founder of Lush
All proceeds from the two limited edition “Climate Knot-Wraps” designed by Vivienne Westwood will be used to raise awareness for Climate Revolution. So, not only will these scarves reduce waste and last a lifetime, but they also encourages a cause for a thriving future.
