85504 Design Futures: Sustainable Lifestyles

6cp

This subject examines how the way people live and work can be made more sustainable. Students investigate the many different historical forces that have lead modern consumerist societies to become unsustainable and gain an understanding about which of those forces continue to prevent our societies from becoming more sustainable. Students also investigate different forms of cultural change in general and the nature of ecological and global equity politics in particular. From this context, students are able to develop proposals for design-led attitudinal and behaviour change toward more sustainable ways of living and working.
