FastCompany’s recent design award coverage included a write up on … latrines.
What??? Yes. Latrines. IDEO, the design firm, was asked to design a new concept in latrines that under-developed villagers could assemble from locally available materials. This need is significant for disease prevention and other issues. What’s exciting about this is how IDEO could re-imagine a completely mundane and unattractive category and deliver an meaningful upgrade. They have blessed thousands of people with their creativity and design acumen.
This is I3 Thinking: Innovative – Indispensable and Inspirational!
