Summary This course explores and practices some of the fundamental tools of designing for sustainability with a focus on the sustainability, desirability, and economic viability of solutions. Content

Design for Sustainability takes the participants through practical concepts, tools and processes to propose design solutions that aim to improve the co-existence of humans, preserve biodiversity, and life-supporting systems. It integrates environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions.

The course explores approaches at different levels (material, product, product-service system, social innovation, and system transformation). It covers the framing, ideation and prototyping phases of designing for sustainability.

Teams will be made up of engineers (EPFL) and industrial designers (ECAL).

Sessions in the fall semester are devoted to discovering and defining a project opportunity through a structured design approach. During the spring semester, sessions are devoted to the prototyping of a solution through a project-based approach.

There will be two workshops (one in fall, one in spring) aimed at strengthening professional competences (interdisciplinary and team work, etc.).
