The project starts with the assumption that natural resources will become scarcer in the near future and that technological change will also change and/or decrease the type of jobs that people do, the combined effect will be to increase the value of materials relative to the value of human labor.
I see these changes as opportunity that allow a less wasteful and more socially fulfilling way of life, where more aspects of life take place in public, using shared spaces and resources.
To facilitate this I shall be designing a series of small and medium sized interventions that perform public uses. Possibilities may include: A baked potato dispenser, a shared tool cupboard, a kitchen or garden for hire, a sauna.
I shall also examine which forms of housing this suggests.
I plan to design the interventions themselves and also the systems / companies that will run them. The systems can operate using money, non- monetary exchanges, government sponsorship or good will, it is likely that all of the above will be used in some way. I am interested in using a combination of both high and low tech concepts. Some interventions will be automated and some will be ran by people.
sounds good
