Description:

The workshop Jugaad-a Do What Jugaad-a Do intends to investigate the possible democratisation of design activity by making the process of designing and redesigning: open. “Jugaad” is a Cultural practice deployed by Pakistani locals where products are repurposed, reused, or upgraded by often unconventional means. It is an act of personalisation, making ingenious solutions and continuous design after design that contributes to product life longevity or up-cycling in many cases. The workshop investigates the Open Design of products and product parts using “Jugaad” as a cultural probe.
