lnterdesign 2005 and communication design: a contextualisation

Abstract

The two-week lnterdesign workshop took place in Rustenburg, the capital of the North West Province . Three rural villages from the North West (Pitsudesulejang, Mathopestad and Syfe rbult) were pre-selected because of their diver sity, including a deep rural, semi-rural and informal settlement respectively. During Week One, two days were set aside for exploratory field trips . The rest of Week One was spent developing concepts that were presented in a preliminary presentation. Week Two was spent revisiting villages and defining concepts for a final presentation . A selection of ideas presented at this final presentation was made for further development and testing by DOT, project organisers and participants from the community. lnterdesign 2005 was concluded at a feedback session in Pretoria, September 2005 , where some of these developed solutions were presented.
