Purpose

From the perspective of social change and design role transformation, the course aims at the United Nations 2030 Human Sustainable Development Goals (17 SDG's) and combines design disciplines with research needs in green design and sustainable development research.Systematically expound the relevant concepts of sustainable design, theoretical development, core viewpoints, design principles, operational methods, tools, etc., and analyze and interpret the above theories and methods in combination with a large number of actual cases. Not only helps students build comprehensive, systematic theoretical knowledge, but also helps guide them take sustainable design practices.

About this course

1 Unsustainable “happy life” – the dilemma of “development” (why sustainable?)

1.1 Environmental Crisis and Ecological Footprint

IPCC report on the latest status of resources, environment, population

and other issues

1.2 Social issues

1.3 Economic development

1.4 Cultural heritage

1.5 The price of “civilization” – growth, development and evolution

Cultural Enlightenment (Enlightenment), Cost Stress, Process of

Innovation, Awakening of Consciousness, Knowledge


2 Sustainable Development and Systematic View

2.1 Prerequisites for sustainability

Sustainable preparation, why? Including the preparation of knowledge, companies (including consumers) are willing to focus on investing in the future.

2.2 The origin and evolution of sustainable development

Long-term process, building adaptability (elasticity), not a revolutionary process, based on current and existing facts, the process of evolution

2.3 The core concept of sustainable development

Environmental, economic and social balance

2.4 Complete world and system perspective

Everything is in the dynamic balance of the system. There is no blueprint for sustainable development. Many levels allow errors.

2.5 Eastern wisdom and future possibilities

Paying attention to traditional values is inseparable from the pursuit of quality and quality in the way of life of our own nation, and the future from the past (history).

2.6 Representative organizations, universities or people at home and

abroad (from Europe to the United States).

7.2 Sustainability and brand management, corporate social

responsibility

7.3 Environmental Impact and Assessment in Enterprise Product Development and Manufacturing Process

7.4 The possibility of new technology: Dialectical understanding of technology - singularity theory, Geithner's technical curve, etc., the choice of technology is not chosen by technology!

7.5 Introduce relevant support, promote sustainable development, mature or forward-looking technologies that may be realized at the product or system level, such as biomaterials, 3D printing, clean energy, air intake, light guide lighting, etc.

7.6 Case
