Suggested Activity:
We encourage you to explore the diverse world of Materials Design for Sustainability Transition by creating a mini-archive of case studies. Choose at least 5 case studies from the following topics:
- Materials Design for Sustainability Transition
- Materials from Waste
- Symbiotic Materials from Industrial Symbiosis and Urban Mining
- Materials from Waste and 3D Printing
- Emerging Technologies for Emerging Materials: Digital Fabrication and 3D Printing with Waste
- Wearables and E-Waste
- Biological Interaction Design
Gather information on each case study, focusing on how these examples contribute to sustainable design and innovation. Your mini-archive can be a mix of images, short descriptions, and key insights that highlight the uniqueness of each case.
Once you’ve compiled your archive, we'd love for you to share your findings with the community! Prepare an Instagram post showcasing the 5 chosen examples. Don't forget to tag us using our Instagram handle @materialsfortransition_polimi and include the hashtags #mooc #polimi #materialsdesignfortransition. We’ll feature some of the best posts on our channel!
Happy exploring!
