Designing equity + sustainability
This hands-on workshop brings Inclusive Design and Sustainability together under Kate Raworth’s ‘Donut Economics’ model approach (also the name of her bestselling book). In the donut model, solutions stay within the healthy capacity of the outer ring (planetary balance needs) while maintaining social harmony in the inner ring. Donut-centered design specifies design solutions (products, services, and experiences) follow sustainability and equity goals.
In this very special evening live in the first city to implement the donut economics model (Amsterdam), Frank Spillers will lead a workshop on applying the Donut-Centered Design model in an update to business-as-usual approaches to Human Centered Design. Why the update? Last month the UN Secretary General issued a ‘final call’ for “everyone, everywhere, all at once” to tackle sustainability development goals (SDG).
In this workshop, participants will learn how to take a planet-first and human-centered approach to solving design problems, from concepting to developing (engineering/ manufacturing) to evaluating and marketing planet and equity-centered product, services & experiences. This course provides skills for making design choices holistically and prioritizing sustainability and inclusion. The motto is ”Design for one (person/planet), extend to many (communities/ SDG)”.
What you will learn:
In this 2-hour evening workshop, we will learn to design equitable sustainability. This workshop is aimed at removing the abstraction of sustainability design and equity, and making it concrete and actionable.
