Om emnet
It is impossible to find innovative solutions to complex problems without incorporating a sustainability perspective and the notion of the circular economy as well as a life-cycle assessment (LCA), which is a natural aspect of systems-oriented design.
Interesting developments are underway in research on complexity in organisations and large systems. This module takes a deeper look at sustainability, regenerative design and complexity.
Læringsutbytte
- Comprehension of the use of scientific data in regenerative design, sustainability and preparation of an LCA
- Knowledge of system changes to achieve a more circular economy
- Understanding of modern thinking on complexity and organisations
- Management of complexity
- Success in applying methods for visualisation of complexity
Praktisk organisering og arbeidsmåter
The module is comprised of two seminars and a final presentation of an LCA.
- Seminar I – AHO in Oslo: Review of methods and tools for sustainability and regenerative design and subsequent incorporation into the students’ own projects
- Seminar II – digital via Zoom: Exploration of complexity in organisations in connection with the development of students’ own projects and the introduction of sustainable solutions
