I found it quite nice to see familiar faces again, some of whom I had work shadowed a couple of weeks ago. All were very positive to have me around, eager to hear how our project was going, though there was natural sceptical undertone felt regarding what we could actually achieve.<br /><br />That aside, the most important element of this visit was to acquire their collective feedback on several ideas that we have been developing in small groups. Shifting my focus from the problems they deal with on a daily basis to feasibility of potential solutions was indeed refreshing approach. All ideas presented were well received regardless of whether they were too high-tech, costly or generally off-the-wall. I think they were just encouraged that an outside party, such as ourselves, were eager to address their troubles.<br /><br />Without jabbering on and on about the experience, below are the main points to come out of the meeting, some of which should apply to the majority of our initiatives:<br /><br /><ul><li><span style="font-style: italic;">The current system offers virtually no solid way of enforcing fly-tipping laws... The reason? The act itself must be witnessed for any report to have any substantial weight behind it... The subsequent outcome? <u>No one</u> is afraid to fly-tip - end of story...</span></li><li><span style="font-style: italic;">The point above also means that numbering bags or any other method of waste tracking would likely require a lot of planning, all party consideration and validity in the courts.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-style: italic;">Offering responsibility / shared ownership / access to the bin stores for tenants is considered out of the question. However such an idea is not impossible that if an advanced code/lock system were used instead of a simply lock and key.</span></li><li><span style="font-style: italic;">Fly-tipping will be collected by Estate Officers up to the external areas and the bottom of stair cores. Any other waste e.g. 3rd Floor landing, would have to be reported before collection would happen.</span></li><li><span style="font-style: italic;">Any mechanism for larger <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">hopper heads</span> must comply with health and safety codes, no exceptions there (even if the usage was controlled by lock & key).</span></li><li><span style="font-style: italic;">They liked the idea of creating a system which could reward those disposed of waste appropriately and penalised those who severely transgressed i.e. An Estate Officer marked rating system, which could be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">integrated</span> into a responsive feedback loop.</span></li><li><span style="font-style: italic;">They agreed that they could not be a single perfect solution to all of the problems considered so far. They were encouraged that several of our ideas merged together could offer an optimum solution that would, on the whole, make their jobs easier.<br /></span></li></ul>Oliver Cartwrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14402949702071940611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-30063185717525687332008-10-30T10:11:00.011+00:002008-10-30T11:54:58.218+00:00This city is a Factory.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4MZKbiMxqUzbMsKPMBYBnu_8AF3dcRFy6J0G6yrwPB5G_WTxKFxdJqOM8anezcrlLjsb_6O10TaRmAEjBQXgkBb_WIgL67aRXsJkuwpLm4x0_ROKZX22hIxJRSROvuwsH7R44gFjMZo4/s1600-h/this+is+a+factory.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4MZKbiMxqUzbMsKPMBYBnu_8AF3dcRFy6J0G6yrwPB5G_WTxKFxdJqOM8anezcrlLjsb_6O10TaRmAEjBQXgkBb_WIgL67aRXsJkuwpLm4x0_ROKZX22hIxJRSROvuwsH7R44gFjMZo4/s400/this+is+a+factory.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262910712892692882" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Some reflections on role / scope / outcome:</span><br /><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">2 Economies </span><div><div>It is odd that we see the disposal of waste as a single topic or problem - which can be contracted to a single organisation, or designed as just one system. We would never try to impose the same level of organisational simplicity on, for example, supply. How we supply ourselves, with what, from where, and how often has become a matter of societal expertise. We are good at it - in fact we are probably <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">too</span> good at it: Shopping has subsumed leisure, culture, public space... But the complexities of supply are understood as market complexities, where demand, desire, brand, lifestyle, logistics and ethics compete. The final destination of the consumption pattern is the house. Beyond the house - suppliers lose interest. The house, after the individual, is simply a secondary unit of consumption.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold; ">Class-Issue </span></div><div>We don't (yet) see waste in the same way. We don't yet see houses as commercial units for the production of valuable 'waste'. The big difference is that over the last century, the central mantra of supply has been <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">choice</span>. The ability to choose between products not just in and of themselves, but increasingly for the 'ethical' choices they represent: "Fair trade", "Organic", "Local" (For more thinking on this, look at the Food Map Live Project <a href="http://10liveproject2008.blogspot.com/">here</a>). The first, and most obvious thing to point out about these is that this kind of choice is made according to moral value systems, and those value systems belong almost exclusively to the upper / middle class. They are (at times meaningless) Cameronisms which represent a green chic gloss over the core reality: That these choices are <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">luxury</span> products, completely inaccessible and value-less for somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the population. The same can be said of the 'choices' introduced to the waste market. As unpalatable as it may seem, "recycling" and its moralisation has become a think-lite moral luxury, assuaging the guilt of the relatively well-off, but of little or no concern to everyone else. It is a Jamie Oliver / Hugh Fearnley Wittingstall middle class phenomenon. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Value</span></div><div>As Tom pointed out to me, the difference is value. We don't mind travelling to the shops under our own steam, because we desire what we want to buy there, and we see where we travel to as an act of choice. We do mind travelling to the recycling bank under our own steam because we value significantly less the end result. Perhaps not surprising, it might be argued, since our televisions are full of adverts which cause us to overestimate the value that a bought product will be to us, but very few adverts (but still some) which cause us to overestimate the value that a disposed product will be to us.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdy8-7b7WbNIG6OiLfZ1K00ABYpIL4TA4FiFnknG7YvFYRT0aeV24DOucrY82yUF-gKTC3BZnLm388-xeX8emNI3pUvtsZstQOp_Gm-Vunt-zyTBg6fKC8Ube_oXi941AZqVBd17HhX9s/s400/lets+recycle.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Trickle-Down Waste Economics?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">What is missing is the passing-down of economic value in the waste economy. It is probably unfair of us to expect everyone in society to behave as workers in the municipal waste factory until we are rewarded with some kind of "wage" (which may or may not be monetary) for doing so. Those trained to be (painfully) aware of the environmental sinfulness of landfill waste could be said to be showing some kind of altruism, but even they (we) are recovering some kind of 'feel good' / 'guilt-ease' value from the act. </div><div><br /></div><div>As an interesting aside, a recent article in New Scientist estimated that in the event of total societal breakdown, cities contain only about 3 days worth of food at any given time. It would be interesting to know an equivalent statistic for waste. How many days worth of waste is in a city at any moment?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">The Top Trump Solution</span></div><div>So how, as a strategic design project do you design <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">waste</span>? What is <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">our</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="">value</span>?Even focusing specifically on waste disposal in flatted estates - about 6% of the dwellings in Sheffield - is not necessarily any less absurd than trying to conceive of a total system for the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">supply</span> of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">everything</span> to those same flats. Unsurprisingly, there is no single, clear solution - we have to hit the right balance of being bold enough to take on the issue and try to offer something new to the conversation, but no so arrogant as to think we can think of a total solution which somehow Sheffield Homes - who are grappling with this problem <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">all the time</span> - have not thought of. Nonetheless, what we can do is cast new light on the question - test out a set of ideas, principles, and specific practical proposals. None of these proposals are a 'solution' - but they are what we have been calling 'top trump' solutions. Gains in one aspect of performance are offset against costs in others. You can't turn any one reality off:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Politics</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Finance</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Psychology / Beahvoir</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Labour</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Ecology</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">Lifestyle</span></div><div>....</div><div><br /></div><div> A problem that can be endlessly redefined can be endlessly half-solved, so part of our value is to identify key points of engagement - reasons to focus on one area and not another - to prod at the loopholes.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>It occurred to us that from our own perspective, one of the most compelling aspects of the project is simply understanding (and making understandable) the system as it is. We can, for example, now tell you (roughly) what your bin is worth (we're not going to tell you yet - tune in next week). We've also realized the extent to which our taking-on of this problem as a 5-week topic is a form of exchange (we hope about 50-50..) We contribute ideas, but in return, take on a new awareness of the problems which could be eased / exacerbated by the design of buildings.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">A Lesson</span></div><div>Waste disposal is simply not seen as an architectural problem - certainly not a glamorous one. 'The bins' are either neglected until the 11th hour of the design process, or at best swept under the carpet as a design issue. As Tom pointed out, the 50's, 60's & 70's has offered some exceptions to this generalisation, in that chutes were clearly thought of as an integral function of high-rise dwelling. But society has moved on - the monolithic 'black bag' mindset has left us with fixed, permanent artefacts which struggle to cope with the oncoming complexity of 'after-the-house' market logistics. We (as architects) need to stop seeing bins as isolated objects, but as interfaces in a bigger, complicated economic / political / cultural system. We need to be wary of making bins into foreground objects, and even warier of making waste disposal a moral tax (on time/money/intellect / self-respect). But, perhaps paradoxically, in order to liberate building users, professionals need to make waste disposal an integral part of normal design thinking. Designing those systems/services well might have as great (or greater) an impact upon quality of life as will the thoughful design of the formal / aesthetic / three-dimensional properties of dwellings.</div><div><br /></div></div>Alastair Parvinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12691235759506803027noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-55246656851756043982008-10-28T22:27:00.002+00:002008-10-28T22:30:34.547+00:00Just stumbled upon...I have just accidentally stumbled upon a very interesting blog discussing many of the issues we are concerned with, and from some personal viewpoints.<br /><br />Have a look: <a href="http://architectures.danlockton.co.uk/2008/01/08/chute-the-messenger/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Chute the Messenger</span></a>Indiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12598317837572246326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-46198082948766225332008-10-28T20:15:00.001+00:002008-10-28T20:16:56.826+00:00Cartoon<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfESAUcworiwFDXQUZR1fUBC5xDn6GUTYHjOrtaerBSagf9I9chnL7huaVtKQ1fPXzScwunFN3TTHYfBXDzO5LYxYeiJkSkhz2cqUtZGpKSt8I3ySRI6UKaieGDPNBSyzOBioz4WFKFfT4/s1600-h/Mike_Cartoon.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 353px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfESAUcworiwFDXQUZR1fUBC5xDn6GUTYHjOrtaerBSagf9I9chnL7huaVtKQ1fPXzScwunFN3TTHYfBXDzO5LYxYeiJkSkhz2cqUtZGpKSt8I3ySRI6UKaieGDPNBSyzOBioz4WFKFfT4/s400/Mike_Cartoon.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262301278235529250" /></a>Mike Swiszczowskihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02916801446439941537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-63144351821289089572008-10-28T11:09:00.004+00:002008-10-28T11:18:52.244+00:00New and improved?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRJAHU5NKm7815aw9jgXBS-suQwHPbEevs2ehq8DEROVpi6fvxDI6vfeI5-vVmQ7G123BJs2NyKmn20BZpjsOISuL6hkBR24VhqHQe8ptSokCbI14s_LtGJMsPkb8BtiwjetiKFS2dsZU/s1600-h/new_chute.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRJAHU5NKm7815aw9jgXBS-suQwHPbEevs2ehq8DEROVpi6fvxDI6vfeI5-vVmQ7G123BJs2NyKmn20BZpjsOISuL6hkBR24VhqHQe8ptSokCbI14s_LtGJMsPkb8BtiwjetiKFS2dsZU/s400/new_chute.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262162315574840898" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb0LI76j7HtYZO6w6t3BGfQhwg2avtlIGuzR1XAnUVJVsalpo2AjQETfP7n8gc6SpBjI1sHzcl0kWTKvlgWFUFGx4e6uVgLsth1nj7wclusdlDmG2FM3JWOkWnZ0lZqfI4DEu8o6a_HZI/s1600-h/retrofit_chute.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 290px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb0LI76j7HtYZO6w6t3BGfQhwg2avtlIGuzR1XAnUVJVsalpo2AjQETfP7n8gc6SpBjI1sHzcl0kWTKvlgWFUFGx4e6uVgLsth1nj7wclusdlDmG2FM3JWOkWnZ0lZqfI4DEu8o6a_HZI/s400/retrofit_chute.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262162133562943250" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Will retrofitting or replacing the existing chutes to encourage recycling solve the existing problems facing the waste disposal system?<br /><br />No! While cleaning mechanisms can be installed to improve the chute hopper area, most problems will remain. Some tenants will still choose to throw their rubbish off of the decks and bin bags will still be too large for the chutes. It seems recycling and waste management have to be tackled through different means.Indiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12598317837572246326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-81538953318400983812008-10-28T10:34:00.004+00:002008-10-28T10:43:34.440+00:00Where the existing chute fails.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3ktkhBJzqR_uIP8i1MyVuZh4Kbs-eSihqiovJjJ8ThfAcR-2lMJamSNpBkWl47mrrxaU6Oetj_bBQGjerWmbVDYWi-5vhhS4XdLOGsu07gfOGZyWwUzqpRdCP9XqkgYU8ntU4qjBY8Q/s1600-h/Existing_chute.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3ktkhBJzqR_uIP8i1MyVuZh4Kbs-eSihqiovJjJ8ThfAcR-2lMJamSNpBkWl47mrrxaU6Oetj_bBQGjerWmbVDYWi-5vhhS4XdLOGsu07gfOGZyWwUzqpRdCP9XqkgYU8ntU4qjBY8Q/s400/Existing_chute.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262153576842710354" border="0" /></a>Indiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12598317837572246326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-17521654504665189452008-10-23T15:28:00.004+01:002008-10-23T16:25:36.160+01:00Bridging the GreyBelow I draw upon ideas expressed by James's <a href="http://03liveproject2008.blogspot.com/2008/10/ownership-of-waste.html">Ownership of 'waste'</a> post and Al's developing concept of a integrated waste receptacle door.<br /><br /><b>The current situation</b> <span style="font-style: italic;">(external landing flatted estates)</span>:<br /><style> /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:595.3pt 841.9pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt; mso-header-margin:35.4pt; mso-footer-margin:35.4pt; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> </style><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo2ZwIYdmjZeMf6Co9ws8Xt8J2RDlC4DEG3SXYBYpqjMHZJq1fyVV9PVU3-882mnsYhq_lOW4pS1YOO0ctpGV5DAhdGg7F5q4L1Bo_ulVfj7zawU_J8T12blDY_k52rMCXcw2lbOPp5iM/s1600-h/Tipping+situ.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 153px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo2ZwIYdmjZeMf6Co9ws8Xt8J2RDlC4DEG3SXYBYpqjMHZJq1fyVV9PVU3-882mnsYhq_lOW4pS1YOO0ctpGV5DAhdGg7F5q4L1Bo_ulVfj7zawU_J8T12blDY_k52rMCXcw2lbOPp5iM/s400/Tipping+situ.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260357509819145298" border="0" /></a><u>Issues to re-cap</u><br /><br /><ul><li>Fly-Tipping is frequent and predictable occurance but essentially uncontrolled, thus Estate officers are forced to check all landings and stair cores.<br /></li><li>The chutes are inadaquate to deal with large bags and hopper heads are even smaller for child safety concerns.</li><li>There is a notional 'no-mans land' between the tenants defensible space and the lacking waste disposal infrastructure.</li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A potential future? </span><span style="font-style: italic;">(external landing flatted estates)</span>:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6L2GEmVzylKPskGhqJACpfXDd0uq_148-eBQl6OSmAgBPfYOA_lj7iwwJPrUjyXIZiGEKtg6LMg8wmEs-F7AjKzscwa3zYg3ZlFCxwjZgtuDyAoA_cECQr_ECO2mkZVBk5fUeU1K8qMU/s1600-h/NewSystem+situ.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 149px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6L2GEmVzylKPskGhqJACpfXDd0uq_148-eBQl6OSmAgBPfYOA_lj7iwwJPrUjyXIZiGEKtg6LMg8wmEs-F7AjKzscwa3zYg3ZlFCxwjZgtuDyAoA_cECQr_ECO2mkZVBk5fUeU1K8qMU/s400/NewSystem+situ.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260357643890988594" border="0" /></a><u>System interventions</u><br /><ul><li>Tenants no longer have ownership of the chutes, they are now only accessible for Estate Officers.

Despite my fairly rounded expectations, I was still shocked at how widespread the problems of Fly-Tipping really were in flatted council estates - and more importantly, the extra effort these guys are required to put in to tackle it.<br /><br />OK, so lets break the main issue down a little, importantly drawing from discussions with the Estate Officers themselves...<br /><br />First of all, seen from the tenant's perspective:<ul><li>The vertical chute system is out-of-date and doesn't have the necessary capacity needed to cope with modern black bin culture.</li><li>Tenants have little or no alternative but to leave their rubbish outside bin rooms / landings for collection.</li><li>A small portion of tenants from ethnic minorities may not consider Fly-Tipping to be an offense.<br /></li></ul>And now the role of the Bin Collector's (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Veolia</span> ES Sheffield) actively pursued work-to-rule policy:<br /><ul><li>All loose bin bags (outside of typical bins / 'paladins') will NOT be collected or handled.</li><li>Overloaded bins will be off-loaded on site until acceptable full capacity is achieved AKA If the bin is beyond full, the excess will be removed and subsequently left behind.</li><li>If the bin room door is blocked (and blocked can simply mean just a couple of black bin bags up against the door) then the collectors can refuse to move the waste and thus not proceed with the collection.</li><li>If the roads are inadequately sized or blocked by parked cars, then collectors can refuse to attempt collection to that block i.e. They cannot maneuver their truck close enough to the site for convenience.</li></ul>So what sort of situations does this leave us with? Well it leaves an ever-shifting grey area of waste management for these Estate Officers to monitor and deal with routinely three times a week. Currently they bridge a vital gap in a system with a shockingly out-of-date waste disposal infrastructure and a privatised collection service that refuses to take any extra initiative.<br /><br />Below are some of the situations I frequently observed on our patrol:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Bat_sVMjEnauKlHLPhdg5eb_sGlG87PV5PboMPDh7cohAE7N-2gVCM8xfPS-oWxxg68p4zEhim7N2DdxlCk5nDRAYQ9nesHomyvzAWv9dA7PjzlXOEBDgnfELCHzid5vVZmXQw0rLbg/s1600-h/DSC03437.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0Bat_sVMjEnauKlHLPhdg5eb_sGlG87PV5PboMPDh7cohAE7N-2gVCM8xfPS-oWxxg68p4zEhim7N2DdxlCk5nDRAYQ9nesHomyvzAWv9dA7PjzlXOEBDgnfELCHzid5vVZmXQw0rLbg/s200/DSC03437.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260089529197462578" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ0rsWedg2CVParLB2w4yB8oyjLJEbRIMVWD8AF5ysvCiwhgqn9_YiNKCjiLjOMkZPDNAGM4p84MrU5bs9xjL9BRkjyWVb8_zNqoUbb6V94DxaWZ3a0ZrrX-KSIrOeF-g17hkZbUP1HcA/s1600-h/DSC03445.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ0rsWedg2CVParLB2w4yB8oyjLJEbRIMVWD8AF5ysvCiwhgqn9_YiNKCjiLjOMkZPDNAGM4p84MrU5bs9xjL9BRkjyWVb8_zNqoUbb6V94DxaWZ3a0ZrrX-KSIrOeF-g17hkZbUP1HcA/s200/DSC03445.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260090106516515058" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Large items such as televisions, sofas, cupboards and mattresses could be found anywhere from right on the doorstep of the prior owner to the middle of a block's courtyard area.

The above right image shows the 'Dry Store', which is basically an additional communal bin store which the tenants can access to dump larger items - these items are collected by the Estate Officers and loaded onto the truck. I was told that these guys will often go out of their way to assist anyone moving large waste out of their flat to speed up the process and keep waste levels in these stores down to a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">minimum</span>.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4pZx7bX63KX_SFeRYjtkodg9kctr1pJoW7MzCW0Xu_8M6JHHI1v9HybaXit2A06zFAoTAxYXoVcyv1yU91fRgEyJs3ycGn9e0U64wVC2ydAS4i0jXzZ6c2WcoEgUDytYVZVbnf1aub4/s1600-h/DSC03462.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4pZx7bX63KX_SFeRYjtkodg9kctr1pJoW7MzCW0Xu_8M6JHHI1v9HybaXit2A06zFAoTAxYXoVcyv1yU91fRgEyJs3ycGn9e0U64wVC2ydAS4i0jXzZ6c2WcoEgUDytYVZVbnf1aub4/s320/DSC03462.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260101371170471954" border="0" /></a><br />It was a truly an eye opening experience following these guys around and witnessing first hand the extent of the waste management problems they face on a daily basis. I was definitely impressed by how eager they were to tell me of their experiences and thoughts on the causes of problems. It is very clear they are caught in the middle of a problematic system, again whereby a modern collection service meets head on with a out-of-date waste disposal infrastructure. In my opinion these guys could be accurately representative of being both our client and end-user - our proposals should seek to make their jobs less of a strain whilst more manageable and rewarding.<span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><br />Estates / Flatted Blocks Visited:</span><br /><ul style="font-style: italic;"><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Margate</span> Estate</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Lopham</span> Street</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Verdon</span> Estate</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Burngreave</span> Estate</li><li>Earldom Drive</li><li>Earldom Road</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Spital</span> Street</li><li>Brunswick Road</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Pinford</span> Lane</li><li>Nottingham Street</li><li>Nottingham Cliff</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Andover</span> Street</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Killton</span> Road</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Montford</span> Estate<br /></li></ul>Oliver Cartwrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14402949702071940611noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-17396376334590481102008-10-21T23:00:00.006+01:002008-10-21T23:07:46.170+01:00Why Hide Fly-Tipping?

It fits the 'recycling as an added-extra' model: placing big supermarket-style recycling tubs in the grounds of estates. The problem is that it relies upon the motivation (and, again, the storage space in flats) to collect waste, carry it out, and sort it into the bins. It asks for a high price in users' time. In areas where people are motivated to recycle (notably the better-off parts of London), it has worked ok, but everywhere else, understandably, it is dramatically underused. We would suggest that just using publicity campaigns to persuade people to take more effort and use these facilities is a hard-work way to make an impact on this stalemate- and probably one which is doomed to failure. We have to look for alternative systems that make recycling and responsible waste disposal <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">compulsory</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">easier</span>.

Which is good.<br /><br />Looking, the way we have been, at the system of waste disposal on two different scales: one as the whole system, the other being waste at the point of disposal is shaping up to be a useful communication tool.<br /><br />There were a number of important issues raised, firstly we cannot feasibly run a trail test of cardboard chutes. Health and safety is a major issue with this one, the material has to be costed, tested and vandal proof. This type of idea can remain as proposals, but they will require some serious thought.<br /><br />In response to the idea of smaller colour coded bin bags: they have trailed the idea of using small bags in the past but it was deemed as being more expensive. There is also a health and safety issue involved in the handling of plastic bags and even though housing estates officers do currently carry out this role it should not be part of a long-term solution, there should be a move towards automation.<br /><br />The idea of an event held on a specific estate is a possibility but the aims and outcomes should be clearly beneficial to the long term goals.<br /><br />That is the emphasis here, our work needs to reflect serious and practical thinking as well as more blue-sky concepts.tkangrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02832574235029061923noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-18603723195338652042008-10-20T11:47:00.002+01:002008-10-20T13:52:04.550+01:00Dow Jones + Arup Study for London<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2uwXok1EtZ-LuSVlSDYtDCQ6DE9wbMYvnrQoLWAo_SWbnpLwnoIDcchS4B_NXGJM_oI7-mkwFF7_G9zfC1icCJPeG8NnWNDkBkLHZbEZVgRtxRLDCW-Lt4NqorbIkFd2qf9cRxfJxDETC/s1600-h/dowjonesreport.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259217982346103458" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2uwXok1EtZ-LuSVlSDYtDCQ6DE9wbMYvnrQoLWAo_SWbnpLwnoIDcchS4B_NXGJM_oI7-mkwFF7_G9zfC1icCJPeG8NnWNDkBkLHZbEZVgRtxRLDCW-Lt4NqorbIkFd2qf9cRxfJxDETC/s400/dowjonesreport.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><strong></strong></div><br /><div><strong></strong></div><br /><div><strong></strong></div><br /><div><strong>Rubbish In - Resources Out: Design ideas for waste facilities in London</strong> is a report by Dow Jones Architects and Arup’s alternative waste technology specialists. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>They developed four design scenarios which examine different types of treatment technology, scale and location, and anurban proposal for each scenario.

Hanover Way<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:10;" >Traditionally, Sheffield’s multi-storey tower blocks were designed with chutes running through balconies of individual flats. This became problematic as maintenance workers found it difficult to access certain flats to clear blockages. As a result usage of these chutes has been discouraged (as the council cannot block the chutes) in favour of using large bins provided outside the towers. Maintenance workers encounter fly tipping in corridors or around the estate and essentially it is perceived residents contribute very little to recycling banks rather the maintenance workers take it upon themselves to separate recycling from domestic waste. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:";font-size:10;" >The renovated tower blocks at Netherthorpe are of the same typology as Leverton but the re-cladding of these blocks has incorporated balconies to provide additional area for the flats as a result the original chutes are now inside these flats. We aim to take a look around one of these flats sometime this week to discover what alternatives are provided and how the existing chutes are concealed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The present system relies on 'good will' and the 'moral obligation' of tenants to dispose of their waste in an appropriate manner. But... what if residents had something to gain from ensuring waste was disposed in an appropriate manner? How can the 'default' be changed? An <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">interesting</span> issue to consider is the 'ownership' of the waste.<br /><br /><div></div><div><div>The system is complex and we are yet to fully understand it, however, it seems reasonable to assume that a fair amount of money is spent by the council on 'cleaning-up' after residents and by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Veolia</span></span> in sorting and separating collected waste. If the tenants took a more active role in sorting and properly disposing of waste then there is a potential cost saving somewhere. If this saving can be passed onto the tenants then hey presto there's the incentive! This could work by offering the tenants [dis]integrated waste management contracts, direct agreements between the tenants and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Veolia</span></span>. Sheffield housing would relinquish 'ownership' of the waste and instead tenants would 'own' the waste up until the point that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Veolia</span></span> collects.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><br />The disposal and storage of waste on the estates would need to be designed.</div></div>James Kenyonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17527618882980362318noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-45352157549371735392008-10-15T23:30:00.003+01:002008-10-15T23:38:39.443+01:00Open Source / Collective Intelligence<a href="http://lawsofsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/rubbish.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://lawsofsimplicity.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/rubbish.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />See-through recycling bins in Tokyo exploining collective intelligence of passersby (in this intance to increase security in underground station... but perhaps the same principle could be adapted/pushed to <strong>'change the default' in waste production/disposal</strong>)<br /><br />From "Open Source Garbage" - post from John Maeda's blog Law of Simplicity <a href="http://lawsofsimplicity.com/2006/11/11/open-source-garbage/">http://lawsofsimplicity.com/2006/11/11/open-source-garbage/</a>cristina cerullihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06998556409361198482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784403216394364871.post-3434786365969809132008-10-15T22:21:00.005+01:002008-10-15T22:33:51.364+01:00Progress (aka A Nice Diagram)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSLGpSQ66VoK5qHYSK2FJvv1KD1KsejNQl6R5dUh2hxMA3v4XCrCzuy8K-dkiFh6GUHcU7ewPviFGEjYLWriKNht_Ntn6N3f7oG1jmB9h5scmmQuum1Pe1xOtzeBb3ytH_A95NUmiE1Js/s1600-h/DSCN0703+small.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSLGpSQ66VoK5qHYSK2FJvv1KD1KsejNQl6R5dUh2hxMA3v4XCrCzuy8K-dkiFh6GUHcU7ewPviFGEjYLWriKNht_Ntn6N3f7oG1jmB9h5scmmQuum1Pe1xOtzeBb3ytH_A95NUmiE1Js/s320/DSCN0703+small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257494127835930258" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Well... welcome to Week 3.
