Another benefit of a Platform construction, kit-of-parts, approach is that it’s very deconstructable.
In our Design to Value approach, we have found that it is not enough to come up with a great conceptual design which in principle delivers great value.Without the maintenance of the energy and ambition which delivered the design, the value can simply be frittered away.
You must take up the mantle and do things you have not done before, engage with people not engaged with before; like a carpentry workshop making aircraft parts.The outcome, the delivered value is the driver, not the process.. As the impacts of global warming and destruction of the natural world become clearer to us all, we should not hide away, or simply feel guilt, or try to push it away and dismiss it.We should use our energies to connect, collaborate, innovate.
If we are truly the dominant species we should and need to demonstrate the fact, through leadership and adaptation of what we do as individuals, but more importantly how we can come together to find expansive solutions to the problems we have caused..In the edited words from a memorable speech: -.
We shall go on to the end,.
We shall fight with the power of the sun, winds, atoms and oceans,.They are not naive, most already have served time in industry, but they each hold a set of values which I found profound and uplifting..
The second reason to be hopeful comes whenever I investigate, look into, or hold discussions in and across many spheres.I see and hear stories about people doing great things with an intent of making the world a better, more sustainable place in the most holistic sense.
Specifically, I have had meetings with two of the organisations I partner with: my local Watermill Theatre, which, as well as producing truly magical theatre, has an outreach scheme that touches hundreds of lives, and the World Land Trust, which is actively protecting habitat and species diversity around the world.With both organisations, we are looking at ways to work together to magnify our individual impact..
