About the course
How can an interdisciplinary approach to design unlock new creativity and beauty? How can different design solutions in nature serve as a model for new human-made designs? And what are the limits of human ingenuity and creative design?
This course looks at design from an interdisciplinary, critical and philosophical perspective, focusing on different theories and models that turn present design conventions on its head. Inspired by ecology and nature and an in-depth discussion of how cultural conditions define human perceptions of the environment, the course tries to reach practical conclusions on how creative design can contribute to a sustainable and better world. The course combines interactive workshops with inspiring guest lectures.
The course is offered at CEMUS, Centre for Environment and Development Studies, in a student-led educational model where students actively contribute to shaping the courses and their content, creating a student-centred learning environment.
