Grading criteria
Explore the interdisciplinary dimensions of design, in particular develop and present your perspective on sustainability in design, as it relates to the current global issues of climate change and environment.

Write and discuss earlier and modern examples of successful integration of sustainability and creative expression, as practiced in artistic communities across the globe.



Additionally,
The goal for these assignments is to contribute a critical visual, written, or verbal response to readings through discussions, presentations, and activities. By the end of the course, you should be able to explain and extrapolate on the interrelationships between design, culture, society, technology, materiality, and the environment. 

You will learn about historical and contemporary design work and creative culture. It is a good idea to think about how your own visual interests, approaches, and perspective are influenced by the pluralistic and interdisciplinary dimensions of design.
