Abstract

The change of models required to implement circular design brings real problems closer to the field of design education. The complexity of today’s world [8] favours the integration of systems, here a collaboration between the non-governmental organisation and university. Our understanding of sustainability requires understanding how affects everything in our lifestyle, governing and social corporate strategies adopted [1]. Innovation requires creativity, critical analysis and ethics, to understand the complexity of social behaviour, technology and business [6]. To observe that local and global issues are closely related [4] and solving design problems requires interdisciplinary teams, the praxis [3] and periphery, the dominated and primitive [2].
