I Design Theme - Planetary Urbanisation CONCEIVING THE IDEA OF CARBON X

Climate change i s a global problem t riggered by the carbon interests which are produced by the human race Most poeple let others take the strain, leaving the global problem unaddressed, making the situation relatable to a “Prisoner’s Dilemma”. The optimal solution to get out is “Collaboration”. Another thing that climate change has led to is melting of Antarctica, whose weather and climate systems are now known to feed into the systems of the rest of the world.

“Social Media” & “Games” have been popular mediums for collaboration over the past few years , connecting people from all age groups across the world.

To acquaint people with the presence of carbon around people, it addresses and helps them perceive carbon as “Colours of Carbon”.

Antarctica, according to research is also the origin to the discovery of different colours of carbons as they were first found here. With the soul motto being to “Think Local & Act Global” , it is a platform that connects people to rebalance the global carbon cycle It encourages the cities on a whole to reduce carbon emissions via the platform.

The following are graphical depictions of the maps showing how carbon has already been present around in the form of colours. The left side of the map depicts the general perception of earth while the right side depicts the extracted out colours.
