Co-creating the Needed Sustainable Design Tools
Co-presented with Zoé Bezpalko
Facing increasing pressure from consumers, regulations, and the current state of the environment, designers are looking to create products that produce a less negative environmental impact. As a design tool provider, Autodesk can play a large role in helping designers make better decisions.
However, sustainability design tools aren’t new and haven’t been well adopted in the past. In this talk, we will review past attempts and lessons learned. We’ll then engage with the audience to co-create the future of Sustainable Design Tools and discuss how we can tackle this challenge together.
