wazo design - Rachelle Soucy

Final Studio project...Designing for Water's Future. This was my original idea (below), but we are working in groups now and our topic has shifted. The idea behind 'Putting Your Lawn To Rest' is about encouraging people to turn their yards into a more sustainable and water-friendly alternative. Lawn watering makes up for almost 40% of a household's water consumption. By creating an interface(website) for do-it-yourself landscaping, people can choose templates that match their yards, pick their growing zone and choose from native species of plants to design their yard. Native species of plants require little to no watering, so at a household level, this would dramatically cut water consumption.
