Compostmodern is a biennial interdisciplinary design conference dedicated to promoting sustainable design solutions for designers and business leaders. Compostmodern is presented by the San Francisco chapter of AIGA — the professional association for design.
Compostmodern presents sustainable design as an everyday practice and way of thinking rather than a niche interest. The event explores the potential for ecologically sustainable growth and responsible design, focusing on practical applications of design thinking. Presentations by designers, clients and manufacturers offer resources, tools, and strategies for promoting sustainability in participants’ projects and work environments.
WorldChanging’s Jeremy Faludi called the 2006 conference “inspiring and engaging people while remaining realistic.” He noted “one of the coolest things about the conference was a small one: for the lunch and water-bottles that were provided, all the packaging plastic was made from PLA, and the “silverware” was made from potato starch plastic. Many conferences forget details like this, but they’re important. We can’t just talk green, we have to be green, too.”
