| dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyses the PlayPump, a water pump powered by a children's roundabout, which is
designed for use in the developing world. The PlayPump is analysed as an example of 'design
for development', an area of current design attention to the developing world, and also as an
example of objects that combine instrumental functions for the user with communication to
audiences. The PlayPump has been advanced through the compelling image it suggests to first
world audiences, of children's play effordessly accomplishing a social good, despite its failures
for users on the ground in the developing world. | |
