Creative sustainability

DGN2040

Synopsis

This unit provides an introduction to the role of creative thinking within an environmental sustainability context. In this unit, you will explore content through applied project-based tasks where you will use design methods as tools for identifying and creatively addressing real-world challenges. You will engage with design research methods and documentation across different media formats and learn to interpret and synthesise collected data. Research will be applied to inform creative interventions seeking to foster sustainable practices in your personal life and environment. Through an exploratory and reflective process, you can expect to learn how creative processes can be applied to explore, plan and intervene in personal behaviour patterns around sustainability.
