Certificate in Sustainable Design Innovation - Ireland

 

TEPUI has co-developed with IT Carlow and the Design Ireland Skillnet a certificate course in Sustainable Design Innovation. This module has now been accredited as an ECTS 10 credit Level 9 module (post- Masters Degree) by the Irish Higher Education and Training Awards Council, HETAC.

 

This 15-week course ran for two consecutive years, with students coming from a variety of backgrounds, most being mid-career professionals. They included architects, landscape designers, graphic designers, fashion designers, industrial materials designers, planners, industrial product designers, design managers, marketing managers and other business managers with responsibility for new product development (NPD), company strategy and design. In other words, representation was broad, and this served to enrich the exchange of ideas and experiences in the class.

Design for Water - Book Review

Design for Water Front CoverI am reading my "newest favourite" book just now, the sort of book I can't wait to open at breakfast, and which keeps me at my coffee longer than usual. It's Heather Kinkade-Levario's "Design for Water: Rainwater Harvesting, Stormwater Catchment and Alternate Water Reuse".

Sounds a bit, erm, DRY you say?

Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.
