Sustainable Footwear Futures brings textile and material questions into the design of a familiar object: the shoe. The programme’s research record includes A Model for Multiplicity, a 2023 conference contribution co-authored with international collaborators.

Footwear provides a practical context for considering how material choices, textile construction and collaborative design education can be brought together.
