From Allan Chochinov:
Designers as a group exercise significant leverage to create cultural
influence and catalyze social change, for better or for worse. Given
our growing awareness of the ecological, political and social impact of
unsustainable consumption, what responsibility (and what means) do
designers have to change the course? Join us for an inter-disciplinary
panel discussion about how designers are addressing the systemic
challenges of ecological design.
Our focus is on non-product-oriented design processes--on
rethinking and reframing our purposes. For example, thinking outside
the (very important) box of greening the supply chain, in what ways
can/does design enable people as producers of meaning, rather than of
waste?
