Brief
Living-state products
Our world is filled with inanimate objects that have an increased role in our lives
especially now that they have become smarter. However, although technologically
smart, they remain lifeless and inanimate in their physical interaction and presence.
Identify a product, a product use or identify an unmet need and through investigation
of human anatomy propose conceptual ideas which harness this anatomical life
within the function of the product. Two approaches can be taken, but in each the
aesthetic form of your design must showcase the characterisation of anatomy or
physiology.
1. A specific function of the product has a living attribute of anatomy when in use:
Some products you might consider designing include prosthetics or a syringe for
example. Alternatively they may be products which have an anatomical context but
non-clinical use for example, in sports a heart rate monitor or protective equipment).
2. The product grows or evolves in line with the user’s needs:
Could the product follow or monitor a child while they learn to walk. Maybe it is a
‘guardian angel’ product observing the needs of an aging person, or perhaps an
evolving product which caters for degeneration or rehabilitation of an individual with a
disease or injury.
