"Walk the tube · Camden" will be taken forward

The project "Walk the tube · Camden" we worked on in the 1st term will become real!

We will be working together with the research centre Design Against Crime to develop it.

Mapping Dementia 1

This experiment is an attempt to map what is dementia and its impact in the world.

The diagram puts together what is typically part of getting older and the most common symptoms experienced by people with dementia and relates them to the main types of diseases that cause dementia. Not all the patients have the same symptoms and all of them are felt and progress in different ways. The design is based on a tube map to transmit this idea: people may or may not feel or pass through these symptoms.

Mapping Dementia 2

In the pie chart, the concern was to include the uncertainty of data. The numbers regarding different forms dementia are not clear. Sometimes is difficult to distinguish them and the mixture of two diseases is frequent.

Mapping Dementia 3

The aim here was to ‘translate’ those big numbers into something more evident and thus more understandable. As a result, the number of people with dementia is compared to population of London and UK and the cost of dementia is compared to big or familiar companies’ revenue.

The whole Viva presentation of the project can be seen here:
