REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH-EAST ICELAND – HÖFN

 

A presentation and concentration in one of the meetings in the town hall about the project. Meeting the locals

The first week of June students from the Nordic design schools, under the umbrella of the Cirrus Network, have been visiting a location in South-East Iceland to inspect potential for local production and development. This is something that design is particularly directed for although much of design education has not focused on that kind of work because it is less funds than working for business companies. The group has been around the region, visiting local producers and services to try and understand the local conditions and to look for potential creations of new or better conditions. We will report more about this kind of activity but the photos always tell the good story about the work and how things go. Thursday afternoon will be an opening of an exhibition of the proposals and evaluations in the lobby of the town-hall in Höfn, Hornafirði. The small diagram shows the Triple Bottom Line that should be used to evaluate all projects and development.

Here is a photo gallery from the workshop.
