'Fragile'
A collaboration with product and interactive designers
'Fragile' is an interactive game that aims to raise awareness of
disabilities by encouraging people to empathise through their experience.
Method Lab is a two - day workshop led by Helen Hamlyn Centre at RCA.
The brief
'As a designer, communicator, maker or artist, collaborate with your team members
to develop a design proposal that improves aspects of how we access information in
urban lives.Your proposal should demonstrate a combination of social need, creative
design thinking and user research.
The process
The workshop brought together students, tutors and
disabled artists and designers.
Each team consisted of RCA students led by an RCA design tutor or graduate working
with a disabled creative partner.
Day One
The project started with participating in a series of
inclusive design user research with our creative partner
around public spaces in South Kensington.
The research was focused on investigating different aspects of
various facilities within the public spaces.
The materials gathered from the research were used to inform
the concept of our design.
Day Two
Brain - storming sessions with the team and the making of 'Fragile' costumes.
