This is the first of a series of studio courses that allow students on the MA and MFA Design for Climate Action programs to develop their skills and knowledge in live design briefs with industry and community partners. By their nature, these courses include socio-economic and political considerations. The studio courses are designed to challenge students with projects of increasing complexity and progressively strengthen the students’ problem-solving skills. Students will solve design problems requiring substantive research, concept ideation and realization, and implementation. In conjunction with the Zero-Waste Materials and Processes course, Climate Action Studio I uses creative practice to focus on life-cycle analysis: manufacturing cycles, materials cycles, and distributions systems.
