Students will have an opportunity to contribute to this San Jose Story Map project by designing a kiosk to display the postcard submissions. The winning kiosk designs could be selected for low quantity production and display postcards in the Spring 2021 at various San Jose locations. Considerations:<ul><li>How can you be creative and expand the idea of sustainability to your entire design process? </li><li>How can you leverage strategies such as circular design or cradle-to-cradle to reduce environmental impact in your design process? </li><li>For example, can your final design cannibalize material from prior design phases? </li></ul>In this workshop students will:<ul><li>Leverage generative design in Fusion 360 and the ecodesign strategy tools discussed in class and through readings to produce a sustainable design for the kiosk display. </li><li>Evaluate your design solutions along the way using alternative tools and strategies to prototype such as AR and non-traditional mockup materials such as :</li></ul><ol><li>creating your own material from household ‘waste,’ </li><li>sourcing industrial/production ‘waste,’ </li><li>upcycling materials that would normally go into landfill, etc.. </li></ol><ul><li>Use various ecodesign strategies to reduce the environmental impact compared to current or relevant products by at least 50%. </li></ul>This event is sponsored by San José State University’s College of Humanities and the Arts and is organized in partnership with SJSU’s Natalie &amp; James Thompson Gallery &amp; the San Jose Story Map project.After the workshop students are encouraged to submit their finished designs to the <a href="https://projects.cadre.sjsu.edu/sjstorymap/wishyouwerehere/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Wish You Were Here Correspondence Exhibition Design Contest </a>(Nov 1 - Dec 6th).
