Designing for Sustainability Course

I really wish I could take this course offered by Schumacher College on Designing for Sustainability: Systems, Ethics and Beauty:

Participants on this exciting course will explore the whole range of ways that design can contribute to a more sustainable society, which they can then apply to their particular field of interest or expertise.
They will study how nature’s design process can influence human-made design, what constitutes form and function, how beauty relates to sustainable design and how co-design processes can lead to innovative solutions.
The final week will provide an introduction to cradle-to- cradle design, a methodology for intelligent product design which takes into account the entire life-cycle of the product.
The course is intended for everyone whose work or interests involves design including designers, artists, architects, planners, academics and teachers.

Should you be fortunate enough to a) live in south west England, and b) be able to afford the £1,800 enrollment fee, please find your application here.
