Hypothesis V, less gobbly goop

This thesis presents the hypothesis that strategic design, a professional approach that identifies the needs of those affected to create innovative solutions, can be used to help developing communities in emerging economies improve their well-being. Currently, a developing community center in Caracas, Venezuela, named ADIC subsists through fundraising and donations, not a sustainable practice. Such a hypothesis will allow ADIC to build its own sustainable economic model based on transparency, two-way communication and showing respect to the community through design.
