Creating an sustainable country by 2050!
This was a prototype workshop hosted in Edinburgh for testing the SDA’s new future building tool to be developed into there existing toolkit.
The question
How might we build an sustainable country for a better world?
What I did
- Testing and evaluating how the tool to spark and generate conversations,
- Analysing the language used was understandable,
- Generating ideas that promote local communities to come together and to design their own solution,
- To embed designers in communities to co-design solutions to local problems that arise.
The impact
- It highlighted that it is easy to get lost in the detail and not look to the bigger picture,
- Providing feedback that led to a better tool for the SDA toolbox.
Lessons learned
- Make sure that everybody in your group is ready to move to the next task,
- Understanding that not everyone is comfortable to speak out load in a group.
