Exploring Rust: A Modular Guide to Chemistry, Ecology, and Relational Meaning
To guide learners through the chemistry, physics, ecology and symbolism of rust, blending technical insight with relational understanding. This framework explores rust as a transformation of matter and meaning: a signal of exposure, time and response. Designed for designers, educators, artists, caretakers and curious observers alike, it treats rust not as failure, but as a layered story.
This guide unfolds across nine adaptive modules, each inviting exploration of rust from a different angle, scientific, ecological, emotional or metaphoric.
