The sustainable approach in design education is ubiquitous, yet too many barriers exist to its application in the real world. Plastic waste, for example, has been a potential architectural building element for years. Still, its application is uncommon because of the gap between waste processing and consumers' demand and knowledge as the main contributors to the waste volume. The paper aims to discuss the possibility of design class pedagogy with the reflection from the class " Architecture and Waste: Plastic by UMN." How the sustainable approach could affect students towards the actual act daily became the intention of the course? The method uses a practiced-based methodology by dividing the class into two balance sessions of theory and practice, thus creating loops of the design process. They were ignited by the discussion on sustainable design approaches in design, architecture and construction, and plastic waste, both potential and problems, and projecting the issue into everyday life. Plastic is used due to its abundance and can be recycled in small units. The result shows that focusing on the process and relating what the class and workshop are doing to everyday life could effectively impact students' thinking about sustainability. Furthermore, by doing deep research on certain materials, the student has a broader illustration of how the networks of sustainability work that will affect more significant decision-making, especially in architecture.
