SHOCK
The SHOCK (NOT) HORROR project:
-
uniquely unpicks the potential for radical change through the allegory of medical trauma to challenge infrastructure stakeholders to move out of their comfort zone,
-
challenge the current organization of infrastructure in silos,
-
rethink the nature of shocks
-
devise new and transformative ways of thinking about infrastructure.
Specifically it will develop a new concept of infrastructure resilience, both by using shocks as a way of both highlighting the interdependencies of existing infrastructure systems (identifying the weak points), and improving infrastructure by restoring it to a better state after the shock (rather than re-instating what was there before the shock).
