From experiment to a product
The Afrikaanderwijk market is one of the largest markets of the Netherlands. After a market day there remains a large amount of waste behind. Part of it is still good for consumption but the other part is so rotten that you can not do anything with it. We thought ...

After the analysis of the amount and type of waste, we have been in discussions with several parties within the Afrikaanderwijk how to make it of use. We found out that in their perception there is too little light on the market and in the district, which creates a negative atmosphere. Our idea is to create a light source with the fruit and vegetable waste and thus improve the unpleasant reputation of this district. This option we have further developed, resulting in a prototype: DePrikker.
Door de experimenten kwamen we op twee ideeën waardoor we energie konden opwekken.
Een versie was, net als de vele proefjes, het fruitstuk heel houden, ergens opprikken en verbinden met elkaar.
Of een versie waarin het fruit vermalen wordt en in bakken terecht komt, die dan weer energie oplevert.
Wij zagen in ‘de prikker’ meer potentie voor in de wijk, omdat het ontwerp ‘open’ is.
Het is duidelijk hoe het fruit energie oplevert. Voor een eerste aanraking met dit fenomeen vonden we dit een mooie stap.
PROJECT 1 : “DE PRIKKER”
Het idee is simpel; mensen kunnen het groente en fruit op een stuk zink en koper prikken.
Wanneer het hele ‘traject’ vol zit, gaat het lichtje branden.
We wilden een beeld voor de Afrikaanderwijk neerzetten. Dat het duidelijk zou zijn dat je in de Afrikaanderwijk bent.
Want dat kwam vanuit de ondernemers ook naar voren; dat de wijk niet zichtbaar genoeg was.
