The choice of materials in product design plays a central role in the sustainability of a product. The Sustainable Futures Lab has a Materials Library of Stones. Each stone contains one or more minerals needed to make our digital products and our technologies for non-fossil energy production, such as wind turbines, batteries, and solar panels. Each stone has a past, present, and future. How can we interact with these stones to make their lives visible?
The Sustainable Futures Lab at IFI has designed a Materials Library of Stones. Each stone contains one or more minerals needed to make digital technologies, such as mobile phones and AI, and technologies for non-fossil energy production and storage, such as wind turbines and batteries. There is also a digital version of the Materials Library. Both the physical stones and the digital library can help increase material literacy among youth in schools.
The Sustainable Futures Lab at IFI has designed a Materials Library of Stones. Each stone contains one or more minerals needed to make digital technologies, such as mobile phones and AI, and technologies for non-fossil energy production and storage, such as wind turbines and batteries. The University Library is interested in a (permanent) installation of a Materials Library of Stones.
Can we identify the values that have guided the design of digital products? In this master’s thesis project, you will investigate what values are embedded in digital products and how to make these values visible and tangible.
The choice of materials for the design of a product plays a central role in the sustainability of a product. The Sustainability Lab owns a materials library of stones. Each stone contains one or more of the minerals needed to make our digital products and our technologies for non-fossil energy production, such as wind turbines, batteries, and solar panels. Each stone (mineral) has a past, present, and future. In what ways can we interact with these stones to make their lives visible?
