Reflection
How the research influenced my project.
This project has opened many new perspectives on systems oriented design for me. Sustainability is a lot more than most people think and therefore it is a designer´s responsibility to communicate this to a broad audience. The research was not necessarily about or into design but for later design interventions with the wicked problems that have been defined. To entangle all the connections it takes a lot of information and critical question. As I am already trying to practice the proposed changes in the education system through my own education at the university, I really want to foster these approaches to show that design is an important tool for many disciplines towards sustainability. Through this Master´s course I got challenged with working autonomous and independently on a self-chosen topic. Also the mini briefs through the studio module helped a lot, also inspired me to develop the idea for the game as it should be similar to what the education of sustainable designers looks like. It feels like this course is working with an heutagogic approach and the more I researched about this topic the more value I gained in this MA.
