DESN 1150

Students will examine the relationship between design decisions and current and historical environmental issues contributing to anthropogenic climate change. They will understand how design impacts individuals, societies, and the environment through research, case studies, and field trips. Students will explore life-centred design practices throughout the design process and investigate the connections to diverse issues which may include, but are not limited to, global working conditions, over-packaging, built-in obsolescence, sustainable development, and climate change and adaptation. This course is equivalent with FIND 1150. Students may earn credit for only one of these courses.
