Over the last few years QJD design studio has been involved in many design endeavors to improve things within informal settlements and rural schools. Some concepts don’t go the distance and lose energy along the way for some reason - even though the idea is very workable and practical. I engaged in a conceptual design idea process with a large manufacturer a few years back. The concept was to design up a library / science lab that was portable between class rooms in rural schools. Where facilities are limited - this would make the furniture piece transportable from one class to the next without having to have a dedicated library space within the school.
Maybe a sponsors can see merit in this idea and could roll it out - the library could be filled with design ideas for children to get inspired by - switch on the creativity at a rural school level within a rural setting - I’m sure this will set off some great ideas within these communities - they can really make a difference in their communities through design.
