Abstract

Creating collaborative environments between design and the sciences has the potential to solve problems in new and creative ways through the design process, a process unfamiliar or unknown to many scientific fields. This type of collaboration has been an ongoing pursuit, with a recent instance being a cross disciplinary workshop between Schools of Industrial Design and Horticulture. This unique workshop consisted of a studio-style multidisciplinary workshop in which professors guided students to generate innovative concepts for greenhouse cooling. The focus of this particular collaboration was the creation of energy-efficient, long-term, and cost-effective solutions for greenhouse designs that allow year-round food production in both food-poor locations and temperate climates that are home to a significant portion of greenhouse farming. Opportunity for creative and novel solutions to cooling are vitally important and timely due the negative impact of climate change on food production in many at-risk and low-income regions.
