Design for Sustainable Change: How Design and Designers Can Drive the Sustainability Agenda de Anne Chick

Design for Sustainable Change: How Design and Designers Can Drive the Sustainability Agenda: Required Reading Range

Autor Anne Chick, Paul Micklethwaite
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iun 2011
Design for Sustainable Change explores how design thinking and design-led entrepreneurship can address the issue of sustainability. It discusses the ways in which design thinking is evolving and being applied to a much wider spectrum of social and environmental issues, beyond its traditional professional territory. The result is designers themselves evolving, and developing greater design mindfulness in relation to what they do and how they do it. This book looks at design thinking as a methodology which, by its nature, considers issues of sustainability, but which does not necessarily seek to define itself in those terms. It explores the gradual extension of this methodology into the larger marketplace and the commercial and social implications of such an extension.

Recenzii

An invaluable reference guide to the major ethical design themes of our time. With its lively format and succinct overview of concepts, ideas and case studies, this book is essential reading for anyone wishing to grasp the complexities of sustainability and the role of design.
Design is undergoing a revolution, and this book is an essential guide for tomorrow's design revolutionaries. Design thinking, service design and design activism are among the new ideas that are transforming the processes and practices of design today. Students of design require a clear guide through these radical new territories of creative practice to help them develop sustainable futures - for themselves and for the world they live in. This extremely timely book is essential reading for design students in all disciplines.
This book helps designers of all persuasions to re-imagine their own design futures. It suggests that this re-orientation involves fresh ways of perceiving, thinking and practicing. It believes that design for sustainable change helps everyone to re-pattern their behaviour towards more sustainable ways of living. Importantly, it adds another significant step in the negotiation of Design's own transitional journey.
This well-researched, clearly written book is refreshingly to the point. Using a wide range of pertinent and up-to-date case studies it guides the reader to see design as an ethical, considered practice for the benefit of all rather than a consumer driven indulgence. This book will prove particularly vital reading for those who are carefully picking their way through the plethora of different perspectives the world of design presents.
Design for Sustainable Change is timely, clear and compelling. It's the ideal roadmap for any designer seeking an alternative to business as usual.
Students in all the design professions should read this admirable and wise book by Chick and Micklethwaite ... it is a fascinating explication of the philosophy of design that offers a vision of how designers should think and work and what design should be ... The accompanying case studies, a fascinating collection of local, national, and global solutions, show how design can address ecological and social problems ... This beautiful book is superbly illustrated.
Chick and Micklethwaite do an excellent job of explaining issues surrounding design and sustainability. Although the book is geared toward professional and aspiring designers, anyone with a curiosity for design and sustainability will find this book fascinating.
For anyone wanting a clear overview of the different approaches that designers might take toward a more sustainable future, this is a must read.
This book is an excellent general overview of how the global ecological crisis impacts the nature of design.
This is a good compilation of material ... a readable introduction to this subject for architectural and design students.
This is a great book for demystifying some of the woolly topics surrounding sustainability. The book is well written and the authors tackle some big themes within the text, yet these these topics are succinctly explained in manageable chunks along with numerous case studies, each of which are clearly explained. As such it makes it an ideal undergraduate text. The chapter on Design Thinking and collaborative approaches to design is particularly interesting and relevant to a new generation designers.
