Our event was a success! Thank you everyone for coming out to The Ship and helping with our research and get involved with Rotherhithe+ :)

After our event, we joined #SE16 for their productive meeting about The Big Lunch on June 8th.

Everyone was great and Rotherhithe+ looks forward to our continuing work together!

Hey all! These are a few pictures of when we put together a our research tools. The pamphlets there explain our research and process :)

#smarterlondon #community #connect #rotherhithe #Rotherhitheplus

We are starting our ideation and execution stage of this project very soon. You’ll be able to see our findings in the form of probes and prototypes and hopefully through tools that we can hand off to the community for use as well!

Some notes, ideas, and potential steps with where we are going with this project. Disclaimer: this information is based off of our many interviews with members of the community as well as objective observations during our research project. If you have any comments we’ve love to hear from you! Feel free to message us here or contact us via twitter.

Hopefully our analysis will lead to a really cool event that will be coming up soon in your neighborhood! We’ll keep you posted!

Sort of related to our project, sort of not... The first image is a photo taken from a comfy corner booth window at the Mayflower Pub and the second image is a textile pattern design inspired by the picture. Just thought it might be nice to show some of you how us student designers are being inspired by Rotherhithe!

We, Rotherhithe+, are doing a class project about co-creating products with a local London community/neighbourhood, and we decided on Rotherhithe.

This project is about co-creating a future product/service, with the community, so its bespoke and will be driven by local needs and future aspirations of Rotherhithe.

First, we talked to different people in the neighborhood to get a general sense of what Rotherhithe was about!

Then, we found the Mayflower, and discovered it has recently become a hub for all the locals! From there we continued to meet different people, and talking to them to see what network existed between the spaces and community.

We put together a presentation that represented some of the personas of Rotherhithe, networks between people and spaces, a mood board made of images and characteristics that make up the Rotherhithe identity, and the direction we’d like to go in with this project. All of this information was gathered from you, the Rotherhithe community, and we tried to stay as objective as possible.

We are now onto the next phase of project, which is to implement our research and begin building a physical prototype that we can leave with the community as a tool to hopefully help facilitate an intradependent community.
