Critiquing of contemporary sustainability | Industrial Design Elective | Juliette Anich
The world needs a design revolution, so why not become a revolutionary designer? This course will immerse you in the critical sustainability challenges of our time and equip you with the detailed knowledge required to make a positive change. Our current culture of design demands convenience and readily accepts wastefulness. However the impacts and implications of this are becoming far greater and more widespread than previously imagined. This course will review your role as a designer in this culture and provide you with the resources and opportunities to make informed decisions on how you would like to participate in, and shape this culture. You will be asked to investigate, critically analyse and surmise issues as diverse as population, the carbon tax, food security and lifecycles of products through short writing tasks and graphic communication. The class will balance individual and collective work through two major projects; a personal design manifesto and a collaborative class demonstration of the semesters work. Juliette Anich will be your guide through the semester. Her current PhD studies around an alternative food system will inform, inspire and challenge you during this course.
