Sustainable Design Thinking

What environmental issues can be tackled by design? What are the success stories? What are the most pressing issues? Sustainable design holds the promise of changing the world from the site of human wrought ecological calamity to the home of people living in harmony with nature—and it begins with you.

Whether you are looking to become more sustainable in your design or design business, or you need to be able to advise your clients on sustainability issues, this class will help lay the foundation in your sustainable education. This course is open to and appropriate for all design disciplines, as well as interested non-designers.
