The design of our projects will not be able to solve all the problems
in the country.
Our projects and designs need to focus on one or two specific
problems or themes and we need to design to achieve those first.
Our designs wont make an impact if they just touch the surface of
many problems or themes, we need to focus our attention to one or
two and deal with them intensively.
Need to respond to the current context and be able to adapt to
future needs
Application
10. Future
Need to implement strategies that will shape the future uses or
designs.
The future is uncertain and we need to accept that we will
We need to cater for the unknown
