Ecodesign Education Seminar

The day-long seminar “Educating the Educators: A Crash Course on Eco Design™” is intended to quickly

bring design educators up-to-speed on green design. David Bergman, architect and teacher at Parsons School of Design, and Erika Doering, interior designer and teacher at Parsons and Pratt Institute, developed the program with the recognition that green design’s short history means that many educators were never trained in it. “Our goal is not to facilitate ecodesign courses,” said Bergman and Doering. “It is to ... have ecodesign become an integral part of design education, to break down the separation and ‘niche-ing’ of ecodesign.” More information is online at www.eco4edu.net.
