Heath Nash on sustainability within design
Upsizing the 10th Edition/Recorded 2007
A close reading, kept within reach.
Heath Nash takes design thinking as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in South Africa in 2007, the conversation is grounded in Heath's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Plastic waste + hands + geometry = beautiful objects + employment, a system that Heath Nash has refined using other people's rubbish.
