Thais Vieria: Art Forum at School of Creative Arts and Media [Video]

From Fashion to Urban Community Gardens: Designing scenarios for well-being

Humanity is facing complex social and environmental challenges. Designers, with their multidisciplinary training and unique practice-based methods, can use their tool kit to facilitate the necessary transitions needed for a sustainable future. To illustrate these possibilities, this forum will focus on two distinct yet related ecosystems: sustainable fashion and urban community gardens.

Thais Vieira is a Design professor at UFES in Brazil. Her education includes a bachelor’s and master’s degree in design, a specialization course in fashion design, a doctorate in Engineering, partially studied at the Politecnico di Milano. Her main line of research and activity is the social innovations that promote solutions for sustainability, which can be enhanced with Strategic Design and/or Service Design. From this perspective, she analysed fashion in her doctorate, and also has been investigating and proposing solutions related to urban community gardens.
