"New breaking design for TN cabinet" Scenarios: The touch, the harvest, the garden

Creativity, innovation and design to serve the supermarket and the family is the main theme of the Open Innovation Website, the website that asks for young designers to apply the ideas, the shapes and technology to new lifestyles and a new concept retail.

In line with the idea of a changing technology that reflect and accompany the changes of modern society, the project's theme: new products, services, and systems dedicated to the contemporary family.

Design and usability

The project will explores the interaction between people and product. The topics of interaction could be analyzed with a focus on ergonomic design principles (different methods) and methodologies of demand.

Analysis of socio-cultural scenarios connected to the different world areas

The evolution, the daily innovation in retail spaces and the ideal space to conceive the relationship between product, food brands and communications, are the key of the complex scenarios, where a fluid melting pot of ideas, arrives to conceive a new breaking scenarios in the future visionary retail world.

Today the supermarket space can be defined as a temporary space representative of the purchasing dynamics, and through the design complements as the materials, lighting, chromatic packaging, it must be able to introduce the customer in a different way strictly connected to the local culture (east or west) and the influence in the market.

The showing codes

This is the stylish but concrete theme that is progression of expression, idea and functioning, which is evolving inside, is in the heart to designers and to industrial design, whose role is decisive and not horizontal in the innovative direction of the display Design. The codes are the new frontier of the retail space evolution.

Hybridization, future design

The future of food retail spaces is there, inside the super and hypermarket at the disposal of the designer and artists, and of course of all the people that want to translate the messages and to create some innovative shapes and creatures. The "words of this world" are "hybridization" and "design". In Globalisation theory, hybridisation refers to an ongoing blending of cultures, and our goal is to translate this in a new retail culture.

TOPICS of the project

• User Centered Design

  There are issues of value, that cannot be separated from the main task of serving functional needs. Thus, aesthetics dismissed as subjective in much contemporary science lies at the core of shop. A new breaking design that re-create the holy country and the garden proximity.

• Ergonomic principles of the product

  There is the issue of context a cabinet design grows inside of, and must complement, the place view where it appears. Thus there is a concept of harvest (or making whole) and located into a context.

• Design of the industrial product

  There is the issue of design and creation processes capable of generating unity.

• Interaction with industrial process of design solution

  There is the issue of human feeling: since, of course, no shape can be considered if it does not connect, somehow, to human feeling as an objective matter

• Breaking shape and new concepts

  There is the vital issue of social agreement regarding decision making in regards to a complex system: this arises naturally when hundreds of people need to make decisions and often the case in the human environment

Teach For India Fellowship 2012 deadline

EMAIL FROM TFI:

Teach For India's journey so far has been one of giant leaps, renewed hope and a testament to the power of the collective. We began placing Fellows in under-resourced classrooms in 2009 with a batch of 80 Fellows teaching in 33 schools across Mumbai and Pune. At present, we have 385 Fellows across the 2 years of the Fellowship teaching 12,000 students in 130 schools across 3 major cities in India.



Teach For India plans to grow exponentially in the next 5 years. By 2016, we will to have 2000 Fellows teaching across 10 Indian cities and reaching out to around 65000 students. The problem of educational inequity is not limited to particular cities in India, it is one faced by the entire country and indeed the world. The movement to expose leaders to educational inequity therefore needs to be a national movement with people from different sectors coming together to ensure that one day all children will attain an excellent education. For it to be a systemic change, we require people from different walks of life to talk about this problem and expose others to it so that together we can tackle this epidemic of poor education plaguing our country. India is on the cusp of becoming a global superpower and the children of today will lead our nation to the helm of the world. Hence, there is no better time to help a classroom full of children get an education that they deserve than right now!
