W H Y T I M E ?
There is a correlation between velocity, and the health of the environment.
Time is perceived as a barrier to more sustainable modes of living and working.
Explorations are informed by long term, cyclical thinking.
Sarah Hay MAA Design CandidateThesis Presentation
T I M E
Time is fundamental to our understanding of the world.
It is simultaneously a structure, a dimension, a quantity, a concept, infinite, and finite.
It is rhythmic cyclical linear sequential.
Our lives could be thought of as successions of events of various durations of various scales.

• slow design and the lost art of shifting gears
• reprioritization of time in the design / decision making process
• festina lente, seven generations and sustainments
• defining a process / method for slow design
• emotional durability / beyond ‘green design’
• use the thesis project RAFT as a vehicle to test the theoretical, to manifest slow design.
Sarah Hay MAA Design CandidateThesis Presentation
S L O W D E S I G N
A theoretical framework (Fuad-Luke 2004)
• process:holistic, inclusive, permits evolution
• desired outcomes: reduce resource flow and therefore consumption individual, socio-cultural, environmental well being
• overlapping themes:tradition, ritual, experiential, evolved, slowness, eco-efficiency, open source, technology

1. process driven:built of salvaged and/or sustainable materialimprovisation and subjective preferences and intuition each material has a narrative, slow design exposes these through the act of making - together they build in layers of meaning to the object
2. outcome driven:floating platform for peaceful enjoyment and informal educationparticipatory design requires people to help assemble and disassemblehands on learning – rope tying, lashing techniques

I believe that sustainability can emerge out of the celebration of slowness, with rigorous sensibility towards the environment, quality of life and temporal rhythms which can be integrated into the designing of objects, structures and spaces over time.
