Design Solutions
for Climate Change
The climate is changing and this effect is measurable and visible. Let’s not get lost in pointing fingers, let’s get something done instead.
Whether it is caused by humans or not, the climate is changing and we see and measure unusual climate conditions everywhere in the world more or less. Since the issue is complex, it is hard to predict the future. But something can be assured: if we don’t do anything now, many people will suffer and for the others it will be very expensive.
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
Jane Goodall
Just like all N:VISION Workshops, the foundation of this workshop is the idea of bringing Design and Sustainability together in their original sense and discover an inspiring and fruitful future for designers who seek to use their creative skills to make a change. The ongoing paradigm change towards an information society proves that we are doing the right thing at the right time.
Based on this foundation, this particular workshop deals with climate change. It will present the visible and measurable climate effects and the scientific state of the art. Along four consecutive lectures and the guidance and assitstence through an individual project, we will examine different factors forwarding climate change and ultimately come up with strategies, products, processes and services that either balance out current phenomenons or prevent future scenarios from happening.
Duration: 5 days
