Sustainable Research & Analysis: To understand the principles of deep ecology, develop research skills, become aware of the product lifecycle and to look critically at and reflect on the consumer culture in which we live and practice. The critical investigation fostered here forms an essential foundation for design and studio prototyping. Design and Studio Prototyping: The emphasis shifts from 'knowing to doing' with weight given equally to process, outcome and reflection. Here, the purpose is to use the research from previous units on socio-ecological impacts as a method of inquiry to inform the design process itself; to offer students the opportunity to experience different approaches to creative making with sustainability as the core directive; and to allow a new aesthetic, reflecting the values of sustainability, to emerge. Rigorous interdisciplinary research and discursive application to design are a constant, but students are free to develop their own areas of interest, so the prototype outcomes for all projects are inevitably diverse.
