It is indeed true that the future of design revolves around the functioning of our society and also human to human interactions established as the centre. As we come across new ideas, new services and new products, design has slowly drifted toward a human centered approach allowing products to appeal by giving them behaviours and personalities.
The PRADA store approach is an excellent way to integrate this human to design interaction and putting design to use in a way that allows us consumers to shop and pick products with ease and comfort. Also to note that the staff devices not only aids store assisstants but also acts as a non-intrusive way to make keep record of what products have been taken off the shelves with this centralised computer system. The installation within the London science museum is surely another design which involves human interactions through displaying people’s typed messages over a simulated map of London’s rail system.
Though design seems to be just for recreation, design is capable of generating more companies, more jobs and opportunities just like the company “approtec”, started by Dr.Martin Fisher, who is working on a project that requires the designing of cost-effective water pumps to allow Kenyan people to grow crops during the Monsoon season.
Through this video i have realised design does not necessarily be related to as a leisure thing like shopping and entertainment, but important as a role in growing the society and even possibly improve living standards in countries just like Kenya. As a designer, i believe video will be beneficial to share amongst other industrial designers, as it has allowed myself to see new lights in the capabilities of design.
