Fördjupningsuppgift

We chose to have an extra look at literature about sustainability.
This is something that we have always had in mind throughout our whole design process.

When we were first introduced to the task of making the green areas and parks of Stockholm more attractive our first thought was to do this because it would increase the health of Stockholm's citizens.

We wanted to not only get people outside, but in an active and fun way. So, through an iterative design process we came to the idea of making a game that encourages activity in an easily accessible way.

At the same time we wanted people to not only go outside. They should also try to explore the culture of Sweden. That's why we are going to choose where the quizzes should be located. Maybe we could also adjust the different question for the given cultural artefact. When people are trying to find these quizzes they will, at the same time, notice the cultural artefact and hopefully learn something new about it through the questions in that particular quiz.


During our research we found a video of a TED-Talk. In it a product designer tells the viewers about his vision. What he realised was that tha materials we use to protect our deliveries are a huge strain on the environment. The solution he came up with is to use a kind of mushroom instead of the harmful, non-biodegradable material which is the norm.

In this solution the customers' needs are taken into account - we do need something to protect our deliveries -  but he has found a way that also considers the environment in a very big way!
