Irritated by the sound of relentless, unwarranted honking? Well, here’s your chance to propose a design resolution to this problem.
In an effort to curb the problem of sound pollution, a recent exercise “the more you honk, the more you wait” being carried out by the Mumbai police is commendable, to say the least.
However, the innocent are also put through the same distress as the defaulters, who aren't suitably reprimanded either - which going a full circle - comes back to the problem, which may significantly lie dormant; but is not solved.
To decode the act and dig a little deeper, looking into behavioural insights of the driver, the act of honking, and the design and evolution of honk horns, Team IndiaArtnDesign(dot)com in association with Association of Designers of India (ADI- Mumbai) is initiating a research exercise called “Kya Bola??” inviting creative minds to propose measures to combat and resolve the problem of honking.
“Kya Bola??” is as much a call for design resolutions to curb honking, as it is to assist the evolution of the modest horn.
“Kya Bola??” is a research initiative and not a competition. No fees are to be paid. No prizes will be given.
