SBE 301: Intro to Design Thinking

SBE 301: Intro to Design Thinking introduces undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Built Environments to the design process in order to promote buildings, landscapes and communities that are sustainable and resilient. 
Learning forms of place-based research and visual communication, students begin by observing, listening, and reflecting to connect social and cultural uses of space with their physical and material organization. They are tasked with thinking creatively to define opportunities, imagine possibilities, and test ideas for creating and sustaining vibrant places by shaping the built environment. The class focuses on El Pueblo Center to apply their explorations and support community (re)investment at a unique hub and social infrastructure for Southside Tucson.

The El Pueblito zine documents a collective journey learning from and with the storytellers of El Pueblo Center and the Southside. You are holding its first issue, created, printed and disseminated at the El Pueblito Salon in the Fall of 2023, the latest gathering in a series of initiatives and engagements emerging from Sunnyside Foundation, a leader of advocacy for Tucson’s Southside, in collaboration with University of Arizona scholars and educators, aimed at place-keeping at El Pueblo, as the heart of the area’s histories, legacies, and ongoing investment.
