Faced with the urgent impacts of climate change and the effects of over-consumption of plastic and concrete on the environment, we design thinkers must react. Tackling these requires new understanding towards how we exploit resources, manufacture goods and consume products. We will analyze how we are living today, and anticipate what we need tomorrow. Designers are very aware of sustainability nowadays. There is a growing collective effort in exploring alternative materials that may have the following attributes: organic, plant-based, recycled, recyclable, waste generated, composite, biodegradable, circular and low footprint etc. Moreover, more people are aware of the afterlife of a product. It is our responsibilities as leading thinkers to consider the whole life cycle of the material. Emphasis of the studio is placed on sustainability in design proposals (and processes) and the need for environmental, societal and community relevance. The course looks to build transferable skills, including structuring and communicating ideas to stakeholders concisely and with clarity, effective interdisciplinary teamwork and leadership, and self-reflection within the design process.
