Backgrounds on Loved Ones….
Longevity is a key issue when it comes to understanding design as a tool for sustainability. In a world of constant consumption, the relationship between people and objects is often short-lived. Products are quickly replaced and many things lose their purpose before they have reached their full lifespan.
– How can design extend the useful life of a product? What role does the emotional appreciation of objects play? How can we delay or avoid the consumption of new goods? Where can design solutions have a positive impact on greater sustainability?
– How can repairability, modification and maintenance be integrated into the design process to make products more durable?
In this winter semester, students of the course Design & Development of UdK Berlin examined various strategies that counteract the premature ageing of objects. These include aspects such as material durability, systemic approaches as well as emotional attachment and narrative elements.
