LeNS is a network funded by the European Commission (Asia Link
Programme, EuropAid Dec/2007 - Dec/2010), promoted by 7
design schools in Europe and Asia (partners)

Carlo Vezzoli

LENS’ SCOPE

promote a new generation of Asian and European
designers
(through a new generation of design educators)

by creating a (new) shared and articulated
disciplinary ground on Design for Sustainability
focused on Product-Service System Innovation,
through a series of exchange activities and pilot
courses at the partner institutions.

Carlo Vezzoli

MAIN OUTPUT:
Open Learning E-Package (OLEP) on Design for
Sustainability focused on Product-Service System

a web platform allowing interested teachers to
freely download open source and copyleft
LEARNING RESOURCES (slideshows, texts, audio-
videos, etc.) and TOOLS that could be
modified/remixed and reused.

Carlo Vezzoli

OLEP: INTRO TO MAIN FUNCTIONALITY
downloadview learning resources by
teacher/course/year

e.g. a student wants to view/download learning resources

e.g. a teacher wants to set-up/up-date a course on DfS and
wants to search for appropriate learning resources to download,
and then modify, integrate and reuse in his/her course

Carlo Vezzoli

…by default the “TEACHER/COURSE/YEAR”
section is selected, but a search by
a) the teacher/student clicks
“CONTENT/TYPE” is also available…
on “Learning resources” …

b) …selects a desired language/s filtering
the available learning resources…

c) … click on the desired
teacher/course/ year to
access the related learning
resources collection …

1. the student/teacher wants have access to
all learning resources of a particular teacher/course/year

b) … and then select learning
resources she/he want to video + slideshow

… other LR formats
2. the student /teacher can view and download learning resources by title and by
format type from the list of the teacher / course / year

3. the teacher can remix/modify the copyleft learning resources and
reuse them as learning resource in her/his own course

SCOPE OF THE COURSE
SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY (SDS)

TEACH ABOUT THE THEORY AND THE PRACTICE OF
SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY (SDS)
OR PRODUCT-SERVICE SYSTEM (PSS) DESIGN FOR
SUSTAINABILITY

Carlo Vezzoli

SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY:
STATE OF THE ART
A “YOUNG” DISCIPLINE:
. innovative role for the design
. starts to be consolidated as knowledge-base
and know-how (methods and tools)
. starts to be diffused into design education
. appearing now the first request of such
competencies form the companies/enterprises

THEME (DESIGN BRIEF):
design a Locally-Based Sustainable Energy System,
based on the promising models of Product-Service
Systems (PSS) and renewable Distributed Energy
(rDE), for a given THEME (household function) of a
given african CONTEXT (HEIS partners living
region)

Carlo Vezzoli

… design exercise …

each group of students will design a suatainable
system for a specific context and theme:

Kampala
(Uganda)
Cape Town
(South Africa)
CONTEXTS sheltering
Gaborone (in africa) eating
(Botswana)
Nairobi THEMES
(Kenya)
(huosehold functions)

education clothing care

Carlo Vezzoli

… design exercise:

ROLE OF REMOTE/LOCAL PROFESSORS:

0. LOCAL university’s PROFESSORS collect info/data/images
about own context and theme (household function)
1. YOU design a draft sustainable system concepts > with
POLITECNICO’S PROFESSORS supervision
2. LOCAL AFRICAN PROFESSORS provide critics and additional
info on concepts (YOU made on their context)
3. YOU finalize system concepts > with POLITECNICO’S
PROFESSORS supervision: YOU WILL DEVELOP AN
ANIMATIC
