Transforming our urban environment
Due to the current evolution in urban lifestyles, it has become evident that we need to build a “sustainable city,” bringing about a transformation in the design of housing, public spaces and business premises. At the intersection of environmental, economic and social issues, the designers, with their in-depth knowledge of practical uses, are now the central figures in the implementation of the 21st century city.
From the environment to furniture, from information technology to visual identity, all the various design professions are involved in this transformation of our built environment.
Design applications include:
– Project management (territorial contexts and issues, social issues related to the sustainable city, identity ...)
– Design techniques focusing on the user (civic participation, representations, user-centered design / design for all, regulations, eco-design ...)
