designed didactic moment regarding our
AWARE ENERGY PLANT environmentally
friendly, smart and stylish
The energy plant is invented and carried out
by the Swedish design collective AWARE.
AWARE is especially active to make people
aware in the environmental area. AWARE
wants to make people more than conscious.
In an attractive and inspiring way they want
people to change their behavior.
One of their ideas to reach this goals is the
energy plant. The energy plant is not real
but virtual. The plant reflects the use of
energy in the house it can be found. Is the
use of energy too high then the plant
shrinks. If the residents use the energy in a
sensible way then the plant flourishes.
The plant also has a second button that tells
its history and also the use of energy. We
can see the energy plant as an energy meter
which looks so great that it does not belong
in the meter cabinet but it can have a visible
place in the living room. At the same time,
the plant offers a visually attractive metaphor
for our use of energy. It is an originally
use of energy.
Design as well as intention can be considered
Cool here. We all know that the environment
