My notes on North East ...

Existential vs Sustainable/lity is the quintessential of the region NE…., so it needs to be taken ahead in the context of quote-unquote development in a way such that…Position it the way satisfying aspirations of the ethnic urban bred and inclusive of the local demography of ( sustenance and existential) through meta-laws and whatever to empower and Sustain its ‘existential commerce’. NE and so do many parts of this land on the globe people live on. On and on. 

Industry of the non environment polluting kind, that which is about: Self sustenance of products and services which are intrinsic to the region culturally, a Destination of Ayur for example, of Liberal Art, IT Resource industry, Tourism reimagined as a get away! with pace of life with nature…few directions…

Excerpt from my writing in progress...

System Theory Paradox

We begin with abilities and then develop in capabilities and mediocrity to deal with the systems and procedures we have created around ourselves. 

Any system stabilises to mediocrity of status quo.

Disrupters come in once in a while, and nonconformists, many struggle in the system and die, the few left do whatever….. for a new familiar system which stabilises again to mediocrity… 

Present continuous Chaos is the order of the universe. 

A mindless continuity.

Design Process in the Field

• Pick/work-given on area of Intervention 
• Data-Information-Knowledge 
• Go on into the field - validate, discover - Analyze | Synthesize | Intent
• Design 
• Give the design to the concerned and move to next.

Plain and Simplified for the designer to interpret.

In a D school, an explanation to each of these may be good by the mentor and the design head in a company.  Its about the fluid nature of the PROCESS which the designer is aware and comfortable with and in dealing with the stories and aspirations of many subjects she/he meets during the process. The assimilation of it leading to the INTENT conceived and the rational while scripting the draft of intent and way forward during the process go parallel in the  stages of the project.
