On September 2, 2015 the 200 young designers of the Design for Interaction Master visited the city of Rotterdam to take on the problem of trash and city maintenance.
With Bird in the Hofbogen as a basis, students worked with experts from the city of Rotterdam to solve the different cases related to containers, chewing gum, cigarette butts, food, vermon and lighting.
The day was kicked off by vice mayor Eerdmans who discussed the problem with Marcel Jongmans. After this the students went out to analyse, observe and generate solutions. With materials from the street and ScrapXL, the students made interesting solutions that were communicated in the movies below. Four solutions were selected by the City of Rotterdam for further explorations.
