Individual assignment:Identify a process or product that is of interest to you or that you make consider a product/process that currently has a negative impact on our environment. Apply what you learnt about the ‘circular economy’ to the product/process to help eliminate or minimise waste and the continual use of resources. Describe the product’s/process’s current manufacturing processes and it’s input and outputs. Assess the process’s steps in terms of sustainability. Identify key areas where you propose improve or change. The proposed approach could look at any aspect of ‘reuse, sharing, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling’ to create a close-loop system in order to minimise the use of any or all of (a) resource inputs, (b) waste creation, (c) pollution and (d) carbon emissions. The true impact of many proposed ‘circular economy’ proposals are debated as being too simplistic which do not consider the complexity of existing systems. Therefore. critique your own design/proposed changes and argue the advantage that such an approach may have on the current designs. Identify limitations or challenges that your approach may have. Report criteria: A written report (<4,000 words) The use of flow diagrams and figures is encouraged.

Vision and Hearing Impairment Design ConsiderationsPart 1: Selections: Using the chart you created for this week’s discussion, create a short digital presentation that includes two finish materials, two lighting selections, two pieces of technology, and identify three proper clearances to be included in residential design with regard to vision and hearing impairment. Consider the both the psychological and physical factors discussed in the mini-lectures this week. Within your digital presentation boards, organize the materials in a manner that is understandable to a client and label all items. (PowerPoint or InDesign would be a great software to use for this assignment). Part 2: Justification: On your boards, you should also include a brief explanation, written in your own words, as to how the selections meet the needs of a vision and hearing impaired client. Discuss both physical and psychological factors.
