Workshop update

Our group - S, U and I - have settled on a topic: planned and perceived obsolescence. We settled on this one as its an issue with great impact on pollution, especially with regards to e-waste. We have decided to settle on computers as our focus mostly because of this e-waste issue.

We're going to aim the workshop at designers - particularly, the design heads of computer firms. We focused on them because they can have influence over the sort of design environment they run, but they still also have the challenge of influencing the other areas of their business towards a more sustainable model.

We've split the task up into three: I'll do the plan of the day (the overall workshop plan) and the feedback questionnaire for in class, U will do the rationale and S will do the plan of the workshop we'll present in class. We'll then work on them together to try and belt out a finished product.
