| Syllabus: | The responsibility of the designer to understand, measure, respond to and minimise the negative environmental effects of the products, furniture or objects they create is the basis for this unit. The developing discipline of design for the environment DfE is explored through theoretical knowledge of the fundamentals, methods of measurement, leading practitioners' work and topical content. Students will undertake a creative design based project that will satisfy a current or projected market need whilst focusing on the sustainable benefits of their work. This will include a life cycle analysis of their work to demonstrate the design qualities, comparison with existing and an understanding of the designer's role. A lecture program and studio sessions will provide the framework for knowledge exchange, debate, design work development and critical direction. |
