HOLY SHIT examines the role of design in sustainable change against the background of resource scarcity, climate change and the resulting 2030 Agenda’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals:
(How) can Eco-Social Design contribute to communicating the benefits of treating human feces, one of the last taboos in western society, as important reusable material within a resource cycle?
“Holy Shit – auf ein Wörtchen über das stille Örtchen” focuses on a communicative approach that combines visual design, project management as well as the conceptualisation and moderation of participative events on a regional scale. Hereto the project takes local and supra-regional stakeholders into account. Thus, it also focuses on an effect that goes beyond the limits of the thesis project, sets a stimulus and creates a fertile ground for future actions.
Think globally, act locally
On the basis of a mobile composting toilet, a pop-up exhibition and a participative event HOLY SHIT is both puts the topic in public, develops a communication strategy and creates a base for implementing an approach for reusing feces within the context of South Tyrol.
