MARC5330: Regenerative Design Technologies

2024 unit information

In this unit of study students will explore the concept of regenerative design from a technological perspective. The unit of study builds upon the current technical knowledge and evidence-based design in the field of regenerative design. Students will learn how to assess regenerative design through a series of indicators such as environmental and ecological impact, material lifecycle, circular design and carbon emissions. Regenerative design techniques and technologies will be explored and assessed to challenge current concepts and practices. The overarching aim of the unit of study is to equip students with relevant knowledge and skill to propose coherent and robust design solutions that consider environmental impacts and regenerative design strategies.
