We've arrived to the ending of chapter five, 'Human Movement'. Like I did before in previous chapters, I'm going to analyse my blogposts and place them in the Quality of life model of Felce and Perry. The model knows 5 domains of wellbeing; social, physical, emotional, material and development + activity.
The Worlds First Holographic Protest
Last month thousands of people marched past a Spanish parliament building in Madrid to protest for a new law. It wasn't an ordinary protest: none of them were actually there! It was the worlds first holographic protest. This protest can be linked with emotional wellbeing, since the lack of emotional wellbeing (people getting mad because of the new law) is the reason they did this protest in the first place. But the action itself can be linked to development and activity, because it was an innovative action and a technological experiment. The joining of this protest is an activity and can be linked to personal development.
The Kitchen Of The Future
The kitchen of the future is about an IKEA project called 'A Table for Living'. It's a high-tech table disguised as a normal dinner table. A camera observes what happens on the table and relevant graphics are projected on the surface. It can be linked to different domains of te Felce and Perry model. For starters it's material wellbeing since it is an object you use in your kitchen. Important is that the effect of the table on its users is more about emotional wellbeing and physical wellbeing. The table can react on the way you feel and improve your physical wellbeing.
Charge Your Phone Using a Window
The Current Window is a modern version of stained glass. The glass contains small solar cells which can capture the energy of the sunlight during the day and collect it in a small box attached to the window. It is an example of material wellbeing, since it is about an object you can place in your house.
The Bike Of The Future
The Halfbike is a practical city bike. It's a modern version of a folding bike and you can take it easily with you in trains or busses without needing a lot of space. The Halfbike has a little resemblance of a segway, but mixed with a traditional bike. The Halfbike is definitaly an example of material wellbeing because it's about a product.
The Multifunctional Use of Place
The multifunctional use of places is hard to place in one domain, since it is about different things. I think the most important one is material wellbeing. The multifunctional use of places is about the future of our city and physical places and making the most of the places that already exist. It also can be linked to development & activity. Most of the places that are multifunctional have a connection with some kind of activity. It's about development, not so much personal but the development of our living environment.
