Sustainability

There is no easy button for sustainability. Learning what questions to ask is the key. Materials, processes, laws and market triggers are changing by the second. Those who can learn how to stay ahead of the curve, will be best positioned to profit sustainably.

What we are seeing the start of is one of the most amazing times since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.  Today, we have the opportunity to do nothing less than completely remake everything we do, but get it right this time, rather than just stumble into it.  From the biggest buildings to a simple box -- every new project is an opportunity for innovation.  Every new innovation is an opportunity for increasing market share, or adding to natural capital (putting back resources we’ve blasted through).  And every change we make in the market and how we manage resources, is an opportunity to redefine the way we will live over the next hundred years and beyond.  Sustainability is hope, it’s exciting, and it’s a complete paradigm shift.  For those willing to get in there and go for it, there has never been a better time to create real, lasting, and positive change.

Courses

MCAD's Online Sustainable Design Certificate is a ground breaking program with a growing global reputation. The program was conceived, developed, and is led by working eco-design practitioners from the o2 Global Network for Sustainable Design, as well as other original contributors active in defining sustainable design.

Picking up the trail already blazed in architecture, the Certificate is the first ever program serving other design disciplines (product, packaging, print, interiors, community).
