PROCESS STEPS
A brief overview of the core process
PROTOTYPING
DESIGN BRIEF
- Create a solid waste management plan to contribute to a sustainable, self-sufficient township.
- Identify where & who to clean up, transport & sorting requirements, how processing into other products can be achieved and how investment into the township can be achieved. Initiate waste education programs and gardens for food and beauty.
- Improvements will create security, increase tourism, reduce pollutions and encourage business activity. Technology will need to be addressed and municipality will be impacted.
- Leaders, local business, artists, forums, focus groups, NGO's, entrepreneurs, retail outlets, security services and skilled workers can all be involved.
LOW FIDELITY PROTOTYPE
CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT : A SYSTEMS MAP FOR A WASTE MANAGEMENT CENTER
Testing:
The systems map was designed to plan for a Waste Management Center and was highly successful as a preliminary phase to replace a low-fidelity prototype of the proposed center. Troubleshooting potential snags and opening up ideas during the workshop was the perfect starting point for the community.
