Redefining Resources is an intersection of a research project by Jasmine Schofield, who is completing an MA in Design for Social Innovation and Sustainable Futures. This exhibition explores the opportunities and barriers faced when attempting to be environmentally considerate about materials as a designer in today's age.
The work in progress show will feature information, documentation and creative processes from a series of design research projects with Jasmine and collaborators from different social sectors. Each project was conducted with material considerations through auto-ethnographic research methods questioning how circular design interacts with local community knowledge, independent artists and businesses.
Redefining Resources questions our valuation of materials and waste in a world marked by excessive consumption, advancing climate change and continued development. By showcasing new ways to think about materials and waste, this exhibition challenges visitors to reconsider their relationship to materials and hopes to inspire a new generation of designers to embrace circular thinking in their practice.
By following a set of sustainable design principles developed through the concept of the Circular Economy, this exhibition's impact has been carefully considered. The central abstract visual display demonstrates the potential of waste materials in creating aesthetic designs.
