Synopsis

Sustainist Design Primer is the first book that takes the recent idea of sustainism as the new ethos of the 21st century - into the realm of social design thinking and practice. It formulates an open-ended agenda for social design, and presents a set of design criteria that goes well beyond green design. It brings together the key principles for sustainist design, maps out best practices, and explores workable ideas for developing future social design. It provides a framework for co-designing a life-world that is more connected, more shared, more localist and more sustainable.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Social innovation is experiencing a resurgence at a time when cultural boundaries are shifting. A wave of new social initiatives is coming into view worldwide, where millions of dedicated people are beginning to "design" different kinds of living environments that are more collaborative, more socially just, and more sustainable. This movement is what this Sustainist Design Guide is all about. As the authors say: "It is no longer a matter of designing for society, but within it. "This exploratory guide travels the new landscape of social design thinking and practice, viewed through the lens of sustainism - a perspective that is seen as a new ethos for design.

The Sustainist Design Guide presents an agenda for social innovation, based on values such as sharing, connectedness, localism and proportionality, as well as sustainability. It challenges us to transform these and other sustainist qualities into design criteria and include them in our design briefs.

The Sustainist Design Guide maps out best practices and explores how designers can become more socially and ecologically responsible. It opens the debate on what it means to be "sustainist designers.

Including 12 changemaking cases, ranging from urban farming and crowdsourced public architecture to collaborative crafts.

Tim Brown, CEO and President of design and innovation consulting firm IDEO:"Sustainism will drive the creativity of the twenty-first century"
