About Us

How can design save the world? How is saving the Earth a fundamental criteria for design excellence?

Design has the power to create the future. We have to decide how we want the future to look.We have to rethink how we design in the face of an environmental crisis. Saving the earth has to become a priority in every stage of the design process.

The DAAP Sustainability Initiative is a resource for sustainable design based in the University of Cincinnati. Our core focuses are Innovation, Education, and Sustainability

This resource aims to connect designers, students, and educators to sustainable principles, theories, and materials. This resource also aims to make connections to local and student initiatives that are directly involved with sustainability as well as opportunities for Co-Ops and experiential learning.
