Scenarios de Vie Durable Campus de Saclay Services Collaboratifs entre innovation Sociale et Innovation Publique ENSCI Paris DESIS Lab se donne pour objectifs ce semestre d’explorer des scénarios de développement local basés sur des services collaboratifs faisant le pont entre innovation sociale et innovation publique. Le territoire périurbain du Plateau de Saclay, à 20 km au sud-ouest de Paris a été choisi pour accueillir le campus d’une université de niveau mondial avec ses écoles, ses laboratoires, ses entreprises high-tech, etc. Ce travail s’appuiera sur le réseau DESIS, (Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability www.desis-network.org) et en particulier sur le cluster thématique Public & Collaborative.
Design humanitaire | Ça Blog - Ça m’intéresse Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum A New York, le Cooper-Hewitt Museum, musée national du design, organise jusqu’au 23 septembre une passionnante exposition intitulée “Design pour les 90% restants”. C’est-à-dire une sélection d’objets et produits conçus pour simplifier (voire sauver) la vie des 5,8 millions de Terriens les plus démunis. Voici une sélection de quelques idées aussi astucieuses qu’utiles… Q Drum – un bidon en forme de roue, en polyéthylène, qui contient 75 litres et se tire avec une corde, faisant de la corvée d’eau un jeu d’enfant (qu’on voit en action ci-dessus). Fabriqué en Afrique du Sud, il est déjà utilisé dans 10 pays du continent noir : Katrina Furniture Project – Des étudiants en art aident les victimes de l’ouragan Katrina, en Louisiane, à réaliser du mobilier en bois (comme ce banc d’église) avec des débris. AquaStar Plus! Solar Aid – Dans les prothèses auditives pour malentendant, ce qui coûte le plus cher, ce sont les piles.
