Urban Sustainable Design Studio: Design and Sustainable InnovationWhat is required to foster a shift toward greater environmental, social and economic sustainability?
What barriers to change exist and how can they be overcome?
The Urban Sustainable Design Studio (USDS) explores these and other challenging questions in a dynamic interdisciplinary setting.
Stressing experiential learning and collaboration, the program centers around three projects focused on the process of creating and implementing innovative solutions to a diversity of sustainability- related issues.
The eight-week, full-time program also features weekly readings and discussions, field trips, and guest speakers from a range of relevant sectors.
Optional informal career counseling and networking opportunities assist participants with discerning potential future direction.
Working in close collaboration with one another and the program facilitators, USDS participants gain a broad exposure to the quickly evolving sustainability movement.
They graduate from the program better informed and empowered to apply systems-based thinking and transformative design to their future professional pursuits.
The program is open to attendees college-age or older possessing the requisite interest, passion, and maturity.
Design experience is not required (past participants have come from a range of fields).
