About the project - Creative Sustainability
This project will explore how the automotive industry can be transformed by sustainable design and evolve new solutions and strategies leading to holistic, system level transitions towards zero emissions. Specifically, how can we capitalise on the designer’s mindset to facilitate creative and radical approaches, interdisciplinary practice and adopt a more experimental and inquisitive way of working.
Sustainable design is a complex field with various sub-ideologies and approaches. The objective of the project is to develop circular automotive design solutions that consider environmental, economic, socio-ethic as well as subjective aspects of sustainability (quadruple bottom line).
The project will be developed in four stages: discover, define, develop and deliver. The stages will encompass research into the state of the art of automotive sustainability involving desktop research, expert interviews, workshops, design experimentation and development, and delivery of automotive design concepts.
