Register today for our FREE online workshop and start mapping your San Jose Story. Open to all SJSU students. A Zoom link will be sent to you after registration.

 

Workshop Description:

In this workshop students will learn design strategies to implement in the kiosk display design context. Students will have an opportunity to contribute to this San Jose Story Map project by designing a kiosk to display the postcard submissions. The winning kiosk designs could be selected for low quantity production and display postcards in the Spring 2021 at various San Jose locations.

 

Considerations:

  • How can you be creative and expand the idea of sustainability to your entire design process?
  • How can you leverage strategies such as circular design or cradle-to-cradle to reduce environmental impact in your design process?
  • For example, can your final design cannibalize material from prior design phases?

 

In this workshop students will:

  • Leverage generative design in Fusion 360 and the ecodesign strategy tools discussed in class and through readings to produce a sustainable design for the kiosk display.
  • Evaluate your design solutions along the way using alternative tools and strategies to prototype such as AR and non-traditional mockup materials such as :

creating your own material from household ‘waste,’ sourcing industrial/production ‘waste,’ upcycling materials that would normally go into landfill, etc..

  • Use various ecodesign strategies to reduce the environmental impact compared to current or relevant products by at least 50%.

 

This event is sponsored by San José State University’s College of Humanities and the Arts and is organized in partnership with SJSU’s Natalie & James Thompson Gallery & the San Jose Story Map project.

After the workshop students are encouraged to submit their finished designs to the Wish You Were Here Correspondence Exhibition Design Contest (Nov 1 - Dec 6th). All Submissions to Wish You Were Here will also be considered for the San Jose Story Map Contest which will open early 2021.
