Circular Design Stories

    Activity: Talk or presentation typesInvited talk

    Description

    An overview of a portfolio of design research projects spanning the circular economy. Circular economy design research projects in the context of art and design explore creative approaches to rethinking production, consumption, and waste. These projects focus on innovative design solutions that prioritize sustainability, encouraging the reuse of materials, upcycling, and the creation of products with longer lifecycles. By blending artistic expression with sustainable practices, these initiatives inspire designers to rethink how objects, textiles, and experiences are made and experienced, fostering a more resource-conscious approach to design. Through exploration and experimentation, circular economy principles challenge traditional notions of design, offering new opportunities for creating meaningful, environmentally responsible works that contribute to a regenerative culture.
