I am interesting in this course because it will introduce sustainable design and strategies for textile and fashion. Also the course include a broad range of case studies and examples from variety of design disciplines including architecture. I want to gain knowledge and critical understanding of key subject, an ability to explore this specific field of enquiry, an ability to use reflection and self-evaluation.
Sustainability can be anything designed to help improve, conserve or prevent the worsening of our environment, well being & the key global issues such as, temperature change, sea level rising, co2 emission rising & material wastage.
Statistics have shown that the western world (the walled world) use 80% of the world’s resources (1 billion), leaving the rest of the world who use only 20%. These are generally the poorer nations but results show they have a higher rate of happiness.
Sustainability aims to improve the ecological footprint (which measures the rate we consume & generate waste in comparison to how fast nature generates new resources) by changing the environmental, economical and social aspects that go into the design and production of goods. for example; using fair trade mechanisms to help spread wealth amongst a community equally.
Within the production line there are x5 types of Capital: natural capital, human capital, social capital, manufactured capital & financial capital.
Natural Capital is anything taken from Earth that provides us with energy and materials to live - we are not giving our natural capital enough time to decompose and re-grow before we use it up. "Our ’natural capital’ is a gift we've inherited…and in using that capital, we should leave enough of the earth undestroyed for future generations to meet their needs." Worldchanging.com
Human Capital is more to do with an individuals well being, health, happiness and motivation to push them to succeed, the person would need social capital as well as human capital to thrive.
Social Capital is about the communicative network element of friends family and community
Manufactured Capital includes the tools, equipment and machinery used to formulate merchandise during the production stage.
Financial Capital is the money and investments made. it is an important measurement of our economy and reflects power and control as it enables one to own and trade, it has no value alone but represents natural, human, social or manufactured capital.
