The task for the RSA brief is to find a wall covering for a changing world AND a new way of offering personal care. The two tasks could not be more different. The only glimmer of a connection I can offer is sustainability, ecology and efficiency.
What is the future of wall covering? Paint or wallpaper? Is wall covering just the surface? What about texture, heat, putting up shelves, putting up posters, putting up noticeboards.
I have requested images of people's walls to get an idea of what a wall is for. So far my question so far has arrived with these (non-scientific) answers: privacy, setting space, decoration, symbolising personality.
The personal care aspects seems obvious but I'm taking nothing for granted. What is it we really want in hygiene? I've been thinking about recycling our waste products and splitting the products into water, fuel and cleaning products. The problem I foresee is that while people would be content with using bio-gas, washing in recycled clear water, bathing in a soap that was once faeces may prove unpalatable.
