Sustainable Design
Guiding good design practice
Sustainable design is a philosophy that guides design practice to ecologically benign,
socially equitable and economically viable outcomes. Also known as good design, the
intention of this philosophy is to use designed spaces, objects or messages to prompt
meaningful behavioral changes that advance a sustainable society.
Integrating into curriculum
The interior design, fashion design and fashion merchandising fields present exciting
challenges for future professionals to apply this philosophy to commercial and residential
interior spaces, apparel design and manufacturing as well as merchandising strategies.
Our department offers curriculum opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate
students that will prepare practitioners to mobilize their industries for a sustainable
future.
