4. MY PROCESS
1. Research in and outside the project area
boosting creativiy and innovation
2. First ideation culminates
in possible concepts...
3. ...from which only
one is selected

5. 4. Deeper analysis of
the project’s context
5. Second ideation
and new concepts...
6. ...from which one is
the final concept

Agile and collapsible carts for hospitality services, great for circulation
through tight corridors and optimising storage areas.

It was conducted an empathic experiment centred on the user
with several subjects to determine and analyse their behavioural
patterns during the showering practices.

SCARCITY
Collective
Context
. Spas;
. Military barracks, music festivals, camping
(collective use, abundance approximate to scarcity).
Emergency
Context
. Tragedy, disaster or
social emergency;
. Particular emergency
contexts.
Urban
Context
. Public;

. Construction;
. Exercising paths.
Leisure
Context
. Public/private;
. Pools;
. Beaches;
. Camping.
After determining several contexts and case studies through
interviews,they were corresponded to the variants of the
concept of hygiene system.
India (Rajastan)
Case study
. Scarcity and difficult access to water (except
in places with water pumps).
. Contaminated or muddy water;
. Respect towards water, difficulty to accept the
concept of shower;
. Both communitary and non-communitary use;
. Social conflicts;
. Barefoot College subdivision and Rajastan
(remaining territory).
Guatemala
Case study
. Difficult access to water;
. Recycler population by necessity;
. Non-communitary use;
. Social conflicts and disrespect towards women;
. Cost/time/benefit relationship.
Timor
Case study
. Singular or collective use;
. Scarcity and difficult access to water;
. Contaminated water;
. Possibility of communitary use;
. Timor allows collective and singular use
through communities, sharing variants
with the Guatemalan case study
