5 PERSON TEAM - SUMMER 2016 ROLE: Designer and Technologist
Mitigation of Shock
Conducting early secondary research and prototyping for Superflux’s project Mitigation of Shock, which explores how we might mitigate the shock of climate change through the lens of food production.Material Exploration
One area of research was in the materials, tools, and aesthetics of DIY growing systems. These experiments were guided by what we thought might be available in the 2050 we imagined.
An investigation process led by prototyping, informed by secondary research into material supply chains and existing work on the maker movement.
Mapping Secondary Research
Mapping extensive secondary research onto a breadcrumb timeline, helping to draw extrapolations to 2050. Research was split into major categories including food infrastructure, food insecurity, water, energy, and housing.
Growing Experiments
Prototyping with different ways to grow food indoors as a way to identfy the building blocks of home growing systems, and how to build the minimal viable growing system.
