Whole systems design: life cycle thinking
Cultivating life cycle thinking
From 2008 to 2014, I co-developed the Autodesk Sustainability Workshop. It was an online education platform for Whole Systems and Lifecycle Thinking (today more widely known as the "circular economy").
With "Whole Systems Design" and Life Cycle thinking you'll discover opportunities for saving resources, like materials and energy, can often be uncovered early in the design process, by identifying the right problems to solve before engineering begins. Learn how to apply greener practices to engineering problems with the Autodesk Sustainability Workshop for students. From manufacturing to disposal, the things we make create environmental impacts throughout their life cycles.
