RETHINKING REUSE
2023 / New York, NY

A university course at Parsons

This course aims to create an emotional and intellectual connection with the life forms and environments which bear the burden of our choices. How can designers, artists and critical thinkers create and engage with objects, materials and systems in ways that are socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable? The course culminates in individual student work, where waste is treated as a raw material, studied and developed into a product based on the qualities and behaviour of the object.
