Strategies for Sustainability: Environmental Graphic Design

At its core, environmental graphic design connects people to place. It adds interest and inspiration to our public spaces. It communicates information clearly so we can navigate our world more easily. And it helps share knowledge and foster education.

But it also poses significant sustainability challenges—toxic materials, intensive material use, and waste when installations are removed—with impacts on human health, ecosystems, and the climate.

This project explores opportunities to overcome these negative impacts while maintaining the positive social benefits that inspiring spaces create.
