Interior design and fashion design have a natural connection and similarities in process and production. Both have faced new challenges in achieving sustainable results in their projects. This course explores the contrasting philosophies of fast and slow production and shows how to evaluate the true environmental cost of a product. A case study is presented, demonstrating how an artist/designer can collaborate with a product manufacturer to address sustainability through the creation of innovative bamboo-based designs that may help meet credit requirements in the LEED® v5 Building Design and Construction and Interior Design and Construction rating systems and the WELL Building Standard™ version 2.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Explain the negative impacts of fast fashion and fast deco on people and the environment, and apply strategies to avoid similar outcomes in the field of interior design
  • Describe slow and fast production models and compare their impacts on the natural environment, human health, and human rights
  • Recall how slow-design bamboo plywood panels can contribute toward fulfilling LEED v5 and WELL v2 credit requirements
  • Reference the appropriate standards, guides, and certifications to specify ethically produced, nontoxic products, with specific emphasis on circular economy products.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
