When stability disappears, everyday systems fail. This brief focuses on supporting everyday life in difficult conditions. Disruption is no longer rare. Floods, fire and drought caused by climate change, infrastructure failure and population movement are increasing in frequency and scale. You are invited to design a product that supports people through the consequences of these types of sudden disruption. Your solution must demonstrate how plastics can enable users to rapidly adapt and survive to a change in living conditions. The challenge is not only to sustain life, but to maintain dignity, restore function and support the transition towards recovery. Designs should respond to real constraints, recognising the limitations of access, resources and time. Your design should be quick to deploy, easy to use and effective in challenging conditions. It should show clear thinking around how it could be made, scaled and used in the real world. Your use of plastics should play an active role in how the product performs. Your solution should adapt, evolve or extend its use overtime. When everything else fails, what should still work? – Your product!
