Designers are best applied to imagining methods of making that are directly adapted to specific and localised contexts. I believe design is about exploring social and natural opportunities around us, taking advantage of every situation by interconnecting human activities with environmental principles. I am proposing a production system that treats the Royal College of Art as an experimental site for demonstrating these principles. It uses on-site waste as a raw material for local pencil production that will supply drawing tools to students for years to come.
