Beyond Boundaries, Fascinating Opportunities in the Pacific Garbage Patch!

Fascinating Opportunities in the Pacific Garbage Patch!

Wow. Check this out. We know that there’s a huge pile of garbage in the pacific. A famous quote I’ve heard many times says “life constantly presents us with opportunities disguised as unsolvable problems.”

With that attitude I think this article I read about building an island and processing center in the middle is pretty cool:

And why not? It’s a goot way to get rid of junk, and maybe even make some usable space in a world that’s running low on it.

Beyond- A Discussion

I started this blog as a place to watch and showcase the contributions of those looking for ways to continue and push what Design can be in today’s society. I see that Design has great potential to positively impact our world, and a large part of this move forward requires us to examine our ideas and roles from every angle.

Throughout my observations, I plan to especially keep an eye out for students who are looking to participate in this conversation. I hope this can be a forum that is not only devoted to capturing and disseminating the work that is breaking traditional boundaries of disciplines, problem solving, and design thinking, but to also be a place where current works and ideas can be discussed, critiqued and developed.
