Circular Economy and Co-design
Aalto University Summer school
August 2022
📍Helsinki, Finland
What if in 2035 the extraction of raw materials
for textile production is banned?
Perhaps we would need to harness and cherish
every single piece of clothing and material,
find ways to re-use it, re-purpose it
and recycle propperly the very worn-out textiles.
The challlenge
Propose a system of solutions for the circular economy through co-design between international students from the areas of design, engineering, architecture and computer science in an intensive 2-week workshop.
The solution
An ecosystem for the future of fashion industry towards circular economy based on a speculative scenario of the year 2035.
Details
In this 2-week intensive workshop we explored the fashion industry in a future scenario where the extraction of raw materials for textiles is restricted.
