INDEX:05 COMUNITY –> SOCIALCOMMERCIALISM
The name of the project, Socialcommercialism, suggest a new ideology, that
combine what today seems to be antagonists; social engagement and commercial output. To test this thesis we have formulated four different concepts, where commercial strategies, social issues and design is used to illustrate what the output of this thinking could be. It also refers to
"Socialdemokratin" once playing an major part in the forming of the Swedish
welfare project, but who today lacks ideas and ideology that are relevant in a complex globalized world.
The concepts derived from our project, Socialcommercialism, was made out of
a quite personal starting-point; how we as a designer or architect can
relate to personal, ethical and social values in relation to commercial
demands. The project did not initially aimed for inventing new objects or
solutions for improving life for many, but rather to find a strategy and way of thinking for us to continue to engage in social projects as design
professionals. It has also been our ambition to influence the present debate on design.
So even though the project was made out of a quite personal starting-point,
the issues we have investigates are of a global concern. We focused on
solving problems not so often addressed by designers, but were as the object or system play an decisive role in the lives of many people. Our aim was as well to use the idea of storytelling as an part of starting dialog around the issues. One of the starting criteria’s for us was as to engage in problems that we had an daily experience of. This to have an direct contact with the people and scenarios that we were addressing. One other starting point were to step out of the bound of the object or building. We saw, and still see, one of the most important role for designer and architects to visualise complexities and layout proposal for different scenarios and possibilities of socity and industry. That means that we as designers can start investigating new areas such as service and strategy of more non material character. Even though we were focused at concept development we strongly believe that if they were to be realized the outcome would be positive. We also focused on items that is mass-produced to enable our concepts to have an overall mass effect in our global society. The different concepts also has different focus in styling, process and form. Some are more based in form giving and aesthetics others in process and experiment.
Because the project it self consist of four different concepts the best way
of explaining the benefits is to read the included flash files. But in
short.
