The climate crisis is a major challenge of our generation. Our lifestyle, consumption, food and production play a significant role and without fundamental changes, limiting global warming is hardly achievable anymore. Designers can contribute to achieving the climate target by taking these factors into consideration at an early design stage.

Our Department Industrial Design 1 has picked up on innovative initiatives and we show projects from the subject areas “Gather” (sharing/together), “To Go” (waste avoidance) and “Phase 3” (production methods/circular economy), that the students have been working on in the past three semesters.
