DR3

Next monday will start a week workshop at ITESM called DR3 (Design-recycle, reuse, etc...) I am not familiar with sustainability, but it sounds fun. All students from all semesters are set into small teams to develop a prototype in just one week. I'll post some more info on the workshop during the week.

I think it would be a good idea to have a look at the winners of designboom's competition Re-think, re-use, there are several good ideas that may be good inspiration.

Here are some interesting sites with info on sustainable design:

Sustainable materials database by CSBR
5 steps to innovative sustainable design by McDonough
Sustainable industrial design and Inspiration by Loughborough University

Duct tape fashion
Centre for sustainable design
Designboom's gallery on Shigeru Ban's furniture
Designboom's Re-think + re-cycle
