Description
Technological solutions are only a partial answer, and the production of a product or building does not have to be the main pursuit of sustainable design. System innovation and the design of processes – design without the production of artefacts, as well as of the production processes of artefacts – will form the basis of one of the day's presentations; another will explore what the physical implications of a holistic sustainable philosophy are on the architecture of cutting-edge, resource-intensive international science. From the scale of a product to the settings of architecture, this session is an opportunity to add to the stock of viable and productive ways to respond to the challenge of designing sustainably.
Speakers:
Berhard Dusch, Design Management Group, IfM, Graduate Researcher (Co-ordinator)
Mapping sustainable design strategies – the development of a compound framework
Alison McDougall-Weil, Design Practice Group, Engineering Design Centre, Graduate Researcher (Co-ordinator)
The architecture of science: holistic sustainability in practice
