In this course, students explore the consequences of their decision-making as Color and Material designers, and question subsequent social, economic, and environmental impacts. They deploy their creative abilities using color and material design to create positive design strategies that are forward-thinking and consider sustainability, circular economics, and social justice at a local and global level. The course questions the provenance of materials, processes, and commodity chains. Students explore possibilities for using materials and processes where there is no harm to nature or human well-being; and whether locally sourced materials and processes can be specified to advance social enterprise and closed-loop systems.
