Long time no see! Time to update you on our progress. The past three weeks we have been working on our first goal, getting to know the subject and defining the aim of our project. We divided this according to the scrum method, into many sub goals and tasks. This would make us able to work without sub deadlines in our first sprint. We worked at both te studio at the HvA and at Pakhuis de Zwijger, where Amsterdam Rainproof has an office.
During this sprint we met some of our possible partners, we went to Amsterdam Rainproof and we talked with researchers from HvA, from the citizen data lab. There is another group from the HvA that is doing a project to create a green roof on one of the buildings on the campus, that also engages the students.
During our translate session, it became clear that we wanted to make an infographic, that showed the seriousness of the topic and combined climate change trends and water management problems all in one. We visualised all the data we found and created the following infographic.
The goal of our project will be to design a service or method, that will increase the amount of applications of prevention measures taken in the houses of Amsterdam. This would preferably be done through a system that reuses the rainwater in a sustainable way. During the second sprint, we will develop a couple of concepts. We have already written down some wild ideas..
