System design for extend the value of historical reclaimed material.

Moving Vancouver towards a zero waste future is going to require changing behaviours and changing the system. In order to reach the target of reducing landfill waste 50% by 2020,changing behaviour will be mandatory - to do deconstruction rather than demolition. Which leads to another question, what can we do other than sending salvage material to recycle center? Each house has its own story, to build up the rich history for Vancouver and continue the store. We need to transform waste into something valuable.

Project Tunnel Vision implemented several activities to see what does and does not work in co-creating with children. An activity booklet was tested, along with playground building with shapes and pieces, an obstacle course and fort building session in a gymnastics studio, as well as in-playground play and game making. Some activities were distracting, some outcomes were predictable, and some activities were very surprising. One thing was certain about the co-creation activities: that simply being around the children gave the design team immense insight into how they play and see the world.

Project Tunnel Vision is an investigation into the contemporary playground environment. Upon exploring various problems with modern playgrounds it was learnt that children are not included in the design process, and when they were it was generally a token gesture. The purpose of this systems design is to put children at the front lines of the design process. By consulting children with a number of constructive activities, a context-specific design is created via community engagement. Once a playground has been designed by both the children and the design team, it is shown to the client and goes through several revisions by the client and children co-creation team.
