Introducing sustainability as a framework for systemic object design, the course outlines related theories at different systemic levels, including product, product-service, spatiosocial and socio-technical system levels. Tracing recent developments of design practice, students will analyze principles of key design approaches including circular economies,cradle to cradle design, design for sustainable behavior, systemic design and product-service system design. Focusing on the object as a part of such systems, the course engages students with an external collaborator to analyze existing contexts. Students will develop design proposals that define or redefine objects as part of their systemic networks according to sustainable design principles.Skills: translational envisioning; reuse
