This project was one of my past team projects and the reason it worked really well was that we were able to implement the prototype and test and develop the design over time.
The Community Chest was a project involving the town of Gauldry, Fife. The community could swap, add or remove items from the chest. Primarily old unwanted items were placed in the chest. This reuse of old items and giving them a new lease of life encouraged communication and recycling in the town through novel means.
The project was based upon designing for fictional users. The aim, through research, was to expand this small amount of information that was provided for the character. This has value because it enables design for users when regular contact with the group is impossible.
A small experiment in participatory prototyping was carried out with some members of the community to establish the ideal environment for the project to be placed in
