Enabling design thinking and practice
Enable design process/thinking in communities so that they can design solutions in the context of the larger system. By establishing conceptual understanding of design processes we enable them to address the iterative and open systemic aspects of the problem. We can’t have a contributor in each community, all the time, working with local stakeholders. As situations change they must be empowered to adapt and respond themselves using design thinking and design processes.
Smallest Effective Difference
“Make all visual distinction as subtle as possible, but still clear and effective.” (Tufte 73)
Occams Razor states that what can be done with fewer, is done in vain with more.
This premise applies to both display of information and the implementation of action. Chiapas has little, as a result of economic and infrastructure considerations, so a key function of the implementation approach should be to achieve as much as possible with as little expenditure (financial/energy/resource) as possible. A consideration is also that providing excess of anything to anyone tends to create greater reliance and dependency on these gratuitous things.
