ObjectifsThis course aims to explore and practice some of the fundamental tools of designing for sustainability with a focus on the desirability and economic viability of interventions. By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
ContenusDesign for Sustainability takes the participants through practical concepts, tools and processes to propose design interventions that aim to improve the co-existence of humans, preserve biodiversity, and life-supporting systems. It integrates environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions. The course explores interventions at different levels (material, product, product-service system, social innovation, and system transformation). It covers the framing, ideation and prototyping phases of designing for sustainability. The course builds on the blueprint proposed by the UN's Sustainable Development Goals to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. The global and local challenges we face, including poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, social justice require new solutions that challenge traditional innovation mindsets and business models. Sessions in the fall semester are devoted to design research (e.g., field research, user observation, design thinking, system thinking, sensemaking, framing, ideation). During the spring semester, sessions will be devoted to the prototyping of a solution through a project-based approach. Teams will be made up of engineers (EPFL), social scientists (UNIL) and designers (ECAL). As part of the TILT program, some of the course sessions will be given in the form of workshops aimed at strengthening professional competences (communication, interdisciplinary work, open-ended problem solving, project management, etc.). Students will be asked to keep a logbook as a basis for their individual reflexive note. Keywords: design for sustainability, viability, desirability, ideation, prototyping, SDGs, interdisciplinarity More information on: https://designforsustainability.info IMPORTANT: This course runs over the Fall AND Spring semesters (3 ECTS for each semester) Références
