On Friday (May 29) evening the Design department organised a talk on Sustainable Design. Our speaker was Prof Stephen S G Lee, School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.

The talk focused on the hot topic of sustainability and the green economy. The design students engaged Prof Stephen in a dialogue on the key environmental concerns of the day and principles of sustainable design. There was also a lively discussion on the connections between sustainability and communications design. Our students left with newfound insights into how to be designers whose creations are inspired by sustainability.
