Future Currents (july-sept 2005)
I spent 8 weeks at RED the former R&D team of the London-based Design Council working on Future Currents. The brief of the project was to design services to encourage able-to-pay Londoners to reduce their CO2 emissions on a domestic level. Working in close quarters in a typical edwardian house in Lewisham, a suburb of London, I worked with the team to design and develop these ideas so that they could be presented to the public and people of the area in an open-house event that took place at the end of September.
In this project I was involved in all aspects of the project but also in the documentation of the process, brainstorming, ideation and visualisation of some of the solutions we came up with such as the power pension plan, 1 million roofs and people power. I directed and edited all the movie clips that are now visible on the website (exclusing animations).
