The Tarot Card Reader. We were invited by the Design Interactions Department at the Royal College of Art to take part in the on-going EU funded Studiolab project which is exploring the impact of Synthetic Biology on society and culture through practice-based research projects by using design as a way to imagine, test and discuss.
Within this broad remit, our early interests in the project were to explore the possibilities for new products and services at the intersection of synthetic biology and deviant globalisation – a murky world of illegal, informal and pirate economies, new patent laws, and cross-border flows of technology and expertise. We were interested in exploring the gradients of the informal economy; the grey spaces between the black market and mainstream commerce. What kinds of products and services might synthetic biology produce? How could patent law and regulatory regimes be shaped to meet the challenges of 'synbio'?

Invent your own Tangram- in-class exercise Posted by Liz Burow on October 4, 2010 · 1 Comment Students practiced their ‘rough prototyping’ skills in class with a ‘down and dirty’ version of Tangram.
Each group of 3 students came up with 8 shapes (based on the human form) to work with as their ‘visual alphabet’, using white paper with a black background. The shapes then got passed to the right, so that you were now working with someone else’s shapes. A series of words were thrown out (nouns, verbs and concepts like, fish, sailing, energy) and the groups had a matter of seconds to assemble am image that could best represent the word. This in-class exercise was the ‘warm-up/ for the 1 week assignment of inventing a Tangram system- based on 9 shapes, for a specific set of words. 8 shapes= human form sketching out shape ideas 'fish market' 'health care' 'transportation' group work making the shapes.

(learning about signs, symbols, icons) Posted by Liz Burow on September 28, 2010 · 2 Comments Pictionary really seems the best way to get into the semiotic groove. Rapid drawing without being able to use words in a competitive atmosphere gets the mind thinking about what makes a good visual sign. We also learn what does not make for a good visual sign.

For years, businesses have used human-centered design to develop innovative solutions.
Why not apply the same approach to overcome challenges in the nonprofit world? This project, funded by International Development Enterprise (IDE) as part of a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, sought to provide NGOs and social enterprises with the tools to do just that. IDEO, in collaboration with nonprofit groups ICRW and Heifer International, developed the HCD Toolkit to help international staff and volunteers understand a community’s needs in new ways, find innovative solutions to meet those needs, and deliver solutions with financial sustainability in mind.
The HCD Toolkit was designed specifically for NGOs and social enterprises that work with impoverished communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The HCD toolkit has been used by organizations throughout the developing world, including Acumen Fund, AyurVAID, Heifer International, ICRW, IDE, Micro Drip, and VisionSpring.

This past weekend Burlix joined in the fun at the local NYC// GLOBAL SERVICE DESIGN JAM happening. | WHAT WE DID: The NYCer jammers were encouraged to spend 48 hours of one weekend (really only 8 hours when you added it all up) designing a new service system in groups of 4 to 8 people.
The theme of the jam was: SUPERHEROESHow we decided to use this theme was up to each group. OUR FOCUS: Our group was interested in looking for new ways to learn. WHY WE DID IT: We were inspired by Steve, an attendee of the service design workshop, who came to learn more about service design as a way to evolve out of his current job title. HOW WE DID IT: Our deliverable was a story/story board.
