This course aims to cultivate students into "Ambassadors of Sustainable Living," not just textbook learners, but design thinkers who can transform real-life problems into innovative solutions. In response to the devastating impact of Typhoon Mali in 2024, the course guides students to observe environmental changes through their five senses, combining local traditional wisdom (such as grass cultivation and hand-harpooning sailfish) with modern technology to create environmentally friendly living solutions and artworks, allowing children to see opportunities amidst crisis.
We further extend the learning environment to the real production end, connecting "eco-chefs" and "local practitioners" to allow students to reflect on the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature through philosophical considerations of "LostisGain" and "LessisMore." Ultimately, students will showcase their cultural identity and resilience towards their hometown through art, cuisine, and digital media, becoming seeds for the sustainable development of their future homes, design thinkers who transform life's problems into innovative solutions, and environmentally conscious living plans, considering how to keep their hometown safe and resilient in the face of climate change.
