Project 2: PSS - Collaborative consumption (Little RED BBQ sharing)

Little RED barbecue sharing

The ‘big idea’ behind this product service system is the idea that many Australians still enjoy a good old barbecue with friends and family, but this has changed over the years with people moving into dwellings in high populated areas which really don’t have the room for owning a barbecue unit, people in general becoming busier and only using their barbecue units several times a year and Australia becoming more culturally diverse with different foods and cooking methods.

Consumers who live in suburban houses and like to have an occasional barbecue with friends and family tend to purchase their own barbecue unit, but only end up using it around 5 times a year for the occasional birthday, public holiday or free weekend, and if a barbecue unit lasts about 4 years before it begins to rust because they are usually kept outside, that means they will have only used it around 20 times.

Consumers living in apartments or town houses occasionally have a tiny outdoor space as well, such as a balcony, which has enough room to use a barbecue, but after weighing up between the space and the frequency of use, many consumers decide not to own a barbecue.

With a more culturally diverse Australia, people also have different cultural styles of barbecue which requires a different barbecue unit. Some consumers who like to mix up their events by having some more traditional Australian barbeque foods like sausages but also Chinese-Russian lamb skewers can do so by hiring multiple cooking surfaces.

WCR5

After this week's consultation, the big question on my mind is 'really, what am i designing?' the system is there, but the product will have to be something new and finding a distinct market/user for it. During the consultation, the group helped discuss this, and pointed me in the direction of people living in high population areas.
Week's goal will be to just get everything done!

Mid-Phase concept progress: PPT slides

So since the initial research on collaborative consumption and WCR4, i have decided to run with concept 3 instead, the collaborative consumption of BBQ units.

WCR 4 + Week 1 PSS concepts

WCR4 - This project was harder than any usual studio project we've encountered before because it required us to come up with a service and product.
After group discussion with Mar and peers, i have been directed to follow down the path of concept 1 and develop that idea.
so for next week i plan to have a design for how the system works and what the tangible aspects of the PSS are.
