Description: Today we live in a world that creates more waste than it does reduce, reuse, or recycle. Designers in all disciplines are trying to address this through the exploration of new materials and production processes, creating a new design language and landscape that moves beyond industry or craft. This CEU will look at how the design industry is using waste to create new things, bridging design and sustainability for interiors, architecture, product design, fashion, and the arts.
Learning Objectives:
- Analyze new sustainable design processes related to waste and how they can be employed to create new designs in the built environment.
- Identify new, innovative materials that incorporate waste and support a more sustainable future for building components and products.
- Explain how the Circular Economy benefits design.
- Explore the idea of waste as design currency in order to advance new concepts of manufacturing.
