Lab 2

'Design for the Other 90%' at http://other90.cooperhewitt.org/ is an exhibition showing low-cost design solutions for the 5.8 billion living in poverty, and analyzes thirty humanitarian design projects, which address basic needs in the areas of shelter, health, water, education, energy and transport.

The web site for this exhibition won a Webby - one of the highest honours on the web - for its groundbreaking design and content.

As CCT333: Imagining an Audience in the Wired World's theme this semester is on sustainability, poverty and design, this web site is a helpful reference for your major project.

Tutorial Questions: 1. Under each of the six categories, shelter, health, water, education, energy and transport, choose one project which interests you. For each category, describe how it is designed to alleviate poverty for the project's stakeholders. (6 categories x 1 paragraph = 6 paragraphs)

2. How does stakeholder analysis enable sustainable and socially responsible design? (1 paragraph)

3. List five characteristics of socially responsible product design. (List of 5 points)
