The New Normal

With the onset of the Covid 19 pandemic, the world has significantly changed, and we are in the dawn of a new era. In this new normal, schools and colleges have been closed, but learning never stops as most institutions embraced online education. Offices have been closed, yet employees continue to be productive by embracing digital and technological innovations, governments had to radically change their style of governance, they had to act, be proactive and increase their focus on the health and well-being of their citizens. Travel almost came to a standstill, yet we are more connected with everyone than before. This new normal has redefined the way we think, work, interact and engage with our peers, family, and society. The pandemic has created new challenges and opportunities, while some of our old problems still exist.

Despite all the hardship we have endured during this pandemic, we as a community have learned & relearnt some key lessons of compassion, value, and inclusivity. The new normal has made us focus on health both physical and mental, bought the sustainability conversations back into our living rooms and we have been inspired by the human spirit and resilience in combating tough conditions.

The New future will be shaped by individuals through innovation, human resilience, our ability to adapt and respond positively to difficult circumstances.

Round 1: Poster Making

Themes for poster

Design for sustainability:

We are consuming products every day. Most of them have a big impact on resources, and the environment. How can we think of making them more sustainable by enhancing their resource consumption, durability, recyclability, logistic, packaging, or upgradability? Design a product for tomorrow keeping all this in mind.

Design a digital experience: 

The world is turning digital, everybody starts to do everything with their mobile devices.

Design a system, an app, or an interface that helps humankind to use technology and enhance the experience of users.

Design the new mobility: 

You have noticed that moving in cities is evolving, shared bicycles and scooters, Yulu and bounce, Ola and Uber, electric autonomous cars, more and more common transportation, …. all this is the beginning of a very interesting evolution in urban mobility. Please think about what should come next for us in the coming 5 years.

Co-sharing: 

The new generations are less interested in “owning things”, they are more interested in using things when they need them. Rental, and pay and use systems are blooming in all domains: cars, bikes, scooters, even insurances and houses, power tools, and house equipment

This will help in decreasing the number of products built, transported and sold, and then used less than 40% of the time and stored somewhere, wasting valuable space inside or outside households.

Invent a sharing system in the domain that you want that helps people to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done without the need of owning an under-used object.

Space and furniture design for social distancing:

Social distancing is the new normal, but it is evolving the way we use spaces at home, in workshops, common transports, or in offices.

Design a solution (space management, furniture product, or system) that helps to live more easily the social distancing constraints.

Keep in mind human relationships, space efficiency (cost and limitation), and most personal well-being.

Other topics:

If you find that there are more important challenges that need to be solved to help mankind and the full planet, please do not hesitate to be bold and present us a solution that would be: simple, just, and beautiful.
