Using the pedagogical directive “empathy + design for complex processes,” Katherine Lambert of the California College of the Arts initiated a course titled “Lifecycle.” The primary goal of the class was to familiarize students with a collaborative, cross-disciplinary design process. The pedagogical vehicle was research into the urban waste disposal process and sustainability practices with an emphasis on the end points of the Lifecycle. The class focused on the development of a product (or system of products; physical, software, or both), a service or an environment - which is often a container for products and services.
