Student-facing instructions
Your task is to create 3-5 questions related to sustainable interior design that matter to you. You will start by looking at different design styles in books or images. Use your journal to write down your questions, then share with a partner to make sure they are clear and thoughtful. The goal is to explore how design can communicate stories and ideas, while thinking about sustainability.
