Centre for Circular Design (CCD)
Description
Centre for Circular Design at University of the Arts London was a 5 year venture (2017-2022). It was a leading voice in academic design research and knowledge exchange. The team focused on using practice research approaches to steer and support circular economies and communities around the globe.
Design has been an important element of the resource-intensive production and consumption systems of the 20th Century. It continues to play a significant role in the damaging impacts on natural systems and human populations throughout the textile supply chain. Design has a pivotal role to play in traditionally STEM contexts; bridging transdisciplinary barriers, offering a view beyond current practices and co-designing with stakeholders from around the value chain.
By bringing together academic and industry research CCD explored design for circular contexts with approaches ranging from emerging technology, systems design, materials, tools, user behaviour and social innovation. The Centre brought together UAL research staff, PhD students, national and international academic researchers, cultural institutions, industry and commerce to create new connections to support people and planet.
