I was searching some green design which already exists in India. From old historical places to new ways of harvesting green energy. In MA there was always a common question asked by my friends to everyone (including me!) about inspiration... People answer they Google the images, they searched on the web, they searched in the books but I use to find they don't focus on history. The entire searches made were from last 10-20 years.
I wanted to change my own design strategy. I always been in love with history and geography, learning these and relating them to design made the product or design more conceptual, because we are not only improving the old experiments or traditions but also we can visualise the design with better possibilities.
I just watched a video from TED, where a old guy from Rajasthan explain how they save water, but in London I have seen few people who are crying if the water supply fails for 2 hours due to pipe breakdown! Just look at the amazing inspiration from traditional Indian history.
In my recent project for digital forming, the brief was given us called 'tool' and I was very much searching new ways of expressing the word. I found tool is a communication of comfort expressed in different modes and design. I decided to merge two green technologies to one product. Let’s say I am saving some material and cost.
I decided to build green tree which can absorbs solar energy and can be used to lightened low energy bulbs with rain water harvesting system, which can collect rain water and can be used for gardens, sewage system.

An article about my project has been published on one of the famous design archive website.
