Study project brief : Design Futures


Project Brief #1

Design Futures

This brief is concerned with the development of a concept that addresses the future and use of new technologies or technological services. That is to say, how technology might manifest itself in years to come and what direct impact it would have on our everyday lives. The basis of this project is to develop a ‘bluesky’ concept working on the principle of ‘what if’. The concept per-say could be derived from a product in as much as tool or for that matter a service. The concept should clearly have a defined rationale behind it and should be generated through a clear consideration of existing technologies and or related services, A clearly defined audience / user group should help to shape the conditions of the language used concerning the sonic, visual and physical elements along with the technical parameters, modes of delivery etc. Considering the time allocated for this project, students will have the opportunity to create a screen based presentation of the concept a ‘look and feel’


First thoughts centre around, nano-technology, virtual reality and robotics, field which are developing rapidly for mulitple uses. Technology with a environmentally low impact will also be a major consideration , being energy efficient throughout its life cycle will be a standard requirement in years to come.
