KinderMรถbile Assignment
Furniture Design
Aim
To design a comfortable & safe furniture for kindergarten children with more visual appeal & which is easy to move around as well.
Process
Field Study, Data collection, Ideation, Sketching, Concept Evaluation, Concept Selection, CAD Modelling, Prototyping
- A common bench is provided for 3 to 4 students. Case I : bench & table are attached by a common frame. Case II : common bench is separate from the desk.
- Sometimes the desks & benches are ordered separately & it is not comfortable for kids since height of seat/desk, seat width do not match as per ergonomics
- The desks & benches are made of wood with steel frames or completely out of wood/steel. - Comfortable & light weight furniture which can be moved around easily. - Can be stacked when not in use for cleaning purpose. - Safety should be considered.
PROBLEMS
- 3 students cannot sit comfortably at the desks. Sometimes 4 are made to sit on one bench.
- The steel frame makes the desk & bench quite heavy besides it is also a safety concern. St. Aloysius Primary School, Jabalpur
SCHOOLS
CURRENT SCENARIO NEEDS
- 3 students are accommodated on 1 desk, with 3 separate chairs.

Winner
Brief
To reimagine services & solutions for the ever growing complexity in urban (Tier I cities) transport & traďŹƒc sense, in a non-interventional manner.
Task
To analyse the most common traďŹƒc scenarios on Indian roads to identify the bottlenecks & using it to formulate a solution which can be implemented in the near future.
Guide
Dr. Prabir Mukhopadhyay Professor, IIITDM, Jabalpur Cognitive Ergonomics, Industrial Ergonomics, Injury Prediction, Transportation Ergonomics, Occupational Ergonomics.
PROCESS
Step 1: Create multiple personas & put each of them through multiple scenarios. Step 2: Five personas were created & put into 10 different scenarios each. Thus 50 different scenarios. Step 3: Identify problems faced by persons in each scenario. Step 4: List down the most common problems encountered in each case. Step 5: Try to come up with solution from design perspective.

- Problems identified in each of the scenarios can be categorised using the Ishikawa diagram - Further analysis of the each cause gives an understanding that, not all the problems can be solved by design. - All the causes work in tandem to create the traffic chaos which cannot be eliminated by solving just a few of them. - Each scenario can be traced back to have multiple causes, which again might not be the same every time. - To find a solution in a non-interventional way would mean to tackle problems at system level & to some extent understanding people.

Problem
Pedestrian (At signal crossing/junction) It is a common sight to ďŹ nd vehicles stopping on the zebra crossing, instead of stopping before it. This causes a huge inconvenience to the pedestrians wanting to cross the road. The pedestrians have to move further up the junction increasing the risk of accidents.
Concept
In India, where rules & regulations are auted regularly, it is diďŹƒcult to solve this problem by law or even by spreading awareness. Problem can be addressed by simply moving the location of the signal post few meters before the zebra crossing, which would result in riders halting well before crossing for better visibility. Also, the signal across the junction can be eliminated which would further force the riders to halt before the zebra crossing.
Sustainable Design PET Water Bottle
Aim
Understanding product from a systems perspective to design for sustainability of product as well as the enviornment in which it is to be used.
Assignment
To study the PET water bottle life cycle & to redesign it to reduce its carbon foot print on on our enviornment.

Possibilities To Reduce Carbon Footprint Awareness
Encourage people to use tap water over bottled water by identifying the crucial benefits. Educate the consumers about the carbon foot-print the PET bottles leave on our planet & ways in which it can be reduced or eliminated. Also, about the financial implications it has on individual as well as on the nation.

Reuse
The 360 Paper Water Bottle (Jim Warner), made from sustainable sheet stock as bamboo, is a very innovative single-serve water bottle which is produced on single line & bundled for shipping, eliminating extra packaging.
The PHBOTTLE Project focuses on producing biodegradable packaging for juices, made from the residual waste water from the juice industry.
Alternate use of PET bottle after its primary function, is gaining pace in many countries.
Nestle Waters’ Eco-Shape 0.5L PET bottle is now 37% Nestle Waters experts at the lighter (9.2g) due to modificaProduct Technology Centre, tions in its shape which allows Vittel (France) are working on less use of PET. developments in alternate packaging material (PET from Reducing the label size & cap plants, bio-degradable) to weight has further reduced reduce enviornmental impact the bottle’s enviornmental of bottled water. impact.
In Guatemala, a school in tiny village of Granados, has been built using the discarded PET bottles & plastic bags.
In Japan, PET bottles are finding increasing use as fencing for gardens.
Design Approach
The bottle has projection on one surface, a matching depression on the opposite face & a threaded depression on its bottom surface for stacking without bonding material
Reuse & Reduce
Unique shape to stack 5 bottles in circular formation
Threaded depression at the bottom to accomodate neck of similar bottle
Multiple stacking of such formations, combined with clay/mud will give a solid pillar like structure.
With this concept, the bottle can be easily laid out in a brick like formation, which can be used to create boundary walls/fences or structures with less loads. With it unique stackability, bottles per trip can be increased for transportation
Concept 2 Concept 3 Concept 1
- General awareness, material alternatives & manufacturing technologies all have long term advantages. - However, it is the problems at hand with the near future in focus, that needs to be taken care of. - This can be achieved by simple modiďŹ cations in the bottle form, with minor changes in the manufacturing techniques, with REUSE being the focus of such design. - With a good marketing strategy, the customers can be encouraged to buy the bottle & reuse it, rather than dumping them for landďŹ lls.
Validation The concepts were validated using Solidworks Analysis tool by assigning materials to the CAD model (namely HDPE, LDPE & PVC). The analysis tool gives results with respect to the carbon emission, energy consumption, air & water usage.

This analysis thus shows that, with proper use of material, the modiďŹ cations in the bottle shape helps in reducing the energy consumptions & lesser carbon footprints, besides being reused.
Conclusion Sustainability of a product is not just a system or a process level intervention. It can also be achieved by Design Intervention at the product level itself, with minor changes in the existing manufacturing methods.
