Mapping Socioecological Design

Socioecological design is a critical focus for design that requires new thinking and approaches. This mapping studio features five projects featuring a range of approaches to mapping socioecological design.
There are four National Institute of Design projects (Sipani et al., Guru & Mandlik, Rajan & Sasikumar, Parvathi & Babu), which represent the consistently high graphic standard applied to exploring the design space through mapping and deep engagement with the subject. Three maps are generated through metaphors, and one considers dependence on virgin wood in home furniture. Locally Grown (Visser) maps the spaces between the elements to explore systemic design interventions in human hair waste.
