SUE M: forms, users, functions

Outcomes of the February DYNAMICS:

What FORM should SUE M have? (SUE M = Sustainable Urban Environment Model)

REAL !!!
A system of indicators, a scoreboard
A suggestive form that inspires you to explain… a simple way to explain complex ideas, maybe like a child’s game, able to move, to play with
Physical, portable, not only digital, but with a digital part to show the process of creation attached to it- I’m tired of everything digital
A toolbox
Hybrid, transparent, suggestive, open and flexible in time and adaptation
A giant model
A film showing what to do, and what happens if we don’t
A sculpture
A big interactive panel
A form? Could it be ethereal? Does “new” culture have a form?
Something to be touched and played with
Colourful, simple outwards (to get the message), sophisticated inwards (complex structure), diverse in meaning (multiple faces)
A gift, a souvenir
The form of a living organism
A virtual world
Many forms and many scales, depending on the needs
A golden egg
A competitive game: the winner, the most sustainable
