Welcome to the altbods blog

We use this blog as a resource to discuss the notion of "alternative bodies" in the marketplace and how to design for them/for us. We critique Euro-centric ideology pressed into design and research methods to make room for "alternative bodies" as the focus of artistic creation.

This blog represents the thoughts and art work of our studio class -- by students in architecture, design, illustration, sculpture, graphic and visual arts. We are a hybrid group with many talents.

Conclusions from last class

Discussing the solution to the elderly transportation issue last class was very interesting. Trying to put ourselves in the shoes of a different segment of society (one that we will inevitably become) was a lot harder than initially perceived. The conclusion we decided on for the problem of the elderly transportation issue was a city-wide building of concrete ramps to better access the height dilemma of the average bus in San Francisco. Although this is not a perfect solution, it does best fit possible budgeting limitations and is simple and straight forward to use.
