Sustain – Sustainable Design Showcase

Sustain – Sustainable Design Showcase

Over 40,000 visitors went to the Royal College of Art to view their Summer Show, which closed last week.

Now you have the opportunity to view some of the remarkable work being generated by students at the College, as they launch an environmentally themed online exhibition, Sustain.

Here’s a snippet from the RCA website:

Crucially, Sustain offers a glimpse of the many ways in which design can feed into making the world a more sustainable place. We very much believe it points the way forward for a whole new way of thinking. As Sophie Thomas, Director of Thomas Matthews and Board member on the Design Council, says about the ‘unique responsibility’ of designers: “It is now time for the design industry to roll up its sleeves and get stuck into the biggest challenge of our generation.”
