This workshop explores how products are part of the ecosystem too, as they take shape, transform, decay and turn into new resources.
Students will take up the challenge of tracing toy lives, playing with plants, and designing for transformation and benign toy deaths.
From McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry:
The natural processes of ecosystems are a biological metabolism, making safe and
healthy use of materials in cycles of abundance.
The processes of human industry that maintain and perpetually reuse valuable synthetic
and mineral materials in closed loops.
