An Evaluation of Existing On-Line Learning & Teaching Resources for the Socio-Economic Aspects of Sustainable Design, New Perspectives in Design Education

Abstract

This paper fits into the topic of eco-design education and explores questions related to the modern student’s perspective on design education and how we should consider the curricula from a future perspective. This paper first confirms the state of the art by reviewing the literature on the socio-centric dimension of sustainable design. This will determine the component sections required of a learning and teaching resource which focuses on the implications of human expectations and aspirations for the development of solutions to sustainable design problems
