Abstract
Sustainable design has become a crucial standard of modern design, with its teaching requiring the integration of theory, practice, and innovative pedagogical approaches. This article presents creative teaching methodologies at the Department of Design, Faculty of Textile Engineering, Technical University of Liberec, focusing on Design Thinking combined with Zero-Waste Fashion methods and the integration of artificial intelligence. The instruction blends traditional principles inspired by Bauhaus pedagogy with modern technologies and interdisciplinary projects, thus preparing students for the challenges associated with environmental responsibility. Through specific student projects, the article demonstrates how these innovative approaches can be applied in practice and how they foster the development of empathy, creativity, and critical thinking. Research findings confirm that integrating sustainable methods into education enables students to create aesthetically appealing and functional designs with minimal environmental impact. This approach proves to be pivotal in shaping a new generation of responsible designers.
