ENVIRONMENT

AIGA San Francisco seeks to provides sustainable design solutions and resources relevant to the design profession.

The committee coordinates events, conducts contests, sponsors conferences and develops materials that highlight the relationship between the graphic design and the environment.

Environment Chair, Gaby Brink

COMPOSTMODERN
Compostmodern is an interdisciplinary, one-day design conference dedicated to promoting sustainable design as an everyday practice and mode of thinking, rather than a niche way of working.

Compostmodern will take place January 19, 2008, again in San Francisco. This event will explore the current and future potential for ecologically sustainable and socially responsible design.

Attention will be focused on real word and real time solutions for the graphic design and industrial design communities. Past gatherings have discussed the problems associated with sustainability and defined the problems designers face in creating two and three-dimensional products.

ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDE TO PAPER

The committee has also put together a list of recycled content papers.

The ecological guide to paper was originally conceived by Celery Design Collaborative of Berkeley, CA

ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP AWARD

Every other year, the committee presents the Environmental Leadership Award to a firm or client that best exemplifies the marriage of design and environmental considerations. The juried competition occurs in the fall of even numbered years and the winner is announced at a fall celebration.
