My Bill...Your Bill... Our billl












So it is starting...Christophe Tallec and I will be launching our service design platform, My Bill...Your Bill...Our Bill, within the next week. In order to test the concept in an online public sphere and create scenarios for the Institute of the Futures, online platform Superstruct.

Where it began...
A one week design workshop held at ENSCI in Paris (2007), with Jennie Winhall and Chris Vanstone, which focused on service design research and prototyping tools, through the practical implementation within a project.

Our brief was to look at energy use within public space and design a service to reduce energy consumption or produce energy in public spaces.

We started by developing this initial diagram (below) which tried to define key differences between peoples awareness/control over energy within private and public space.






The results…
My bill... Your bill... Our Bill

A service design proposal that explores public energy use and awareness. Part of the proposal was for the creation of a collaborative user platform that encourages people to explore the use of energy in public space. This could give a renewed awareness and power to people to affect business practice, as businesses would be offered incentives and rewards, or given penalties points and notifications, in relation to public reviews.

So more information on this will be available soon.

To find out more about the launch or the project you can contact us at mybill.yourbill.ourbill@gmail.com

To be continued....
