As someone who has spent a significant amount of time as a swimmer, water holds a special value in my life. Seeing people carelessly waste it can be deeply frustrating for me. However, now, as a designer, I have the opportunity to influence and change this behavior. Today, the issue of water consumption is a problem that many countries are grappling with. In London, which ranks as the ninth city at risk of severe water shortages globally, we need to implement new and serious measures to save water and draw more attention to this critical issue.
While most of us are aware of ways to conserve water in our daily household usage, we often fail to give it the attention it deserves, not fully grasping the seriousness of water scarcity. According to the UK government’s strategy, reducing the average water consumption from the current 147 liters per person per day to 130 liters by 2030 could resolve many of London’s water issues.
Since simply asking for water conservation is not enough, one of the most effective actions we can take is to change the culture of consumption. The best target group for establishing this correct consumption culture is children.
So, what happens if we take it a step further and empower children to guide their parents in optimal water usage? This is precisely what Mizu does. By displaying water consumption in each part of the house and signaling the status of water usage through its appearance and movements, Mizu makes children immediately aware of household water usage. This way, children take on the responsibility and can guide and hold their parents accountable for properwater usage.
I have designed a chair specifically for parks that are often considered less secure. The concept behind this design is to encourage people to visit parks in groups, creating a social seating arrangement. As more people gather, they naturally contribute to the park’s overall safety, functioning as a form of human surveillance. This not only improves the sense of security but also provides a communal space where individuals can sit together comfortably. The design aims to make parks a more attractive and safer destination for all.
