Description
Design Futuring: A New Approach to Design for Sustainability and Ethics. The concept of sustainability has become increasingly important in both professional and academic circles. However, despite growing recognition of climate change and resource depletion as major challenges, efforts towards change remain fragmented. This book presents a systematic approach to design as an expanded ethical and professional practice, arguing that it is essential for overcoming the unsustainable world we live in. Illustrated with international case material, Design Futuring outlines the author's groundbreaking ideas on how concerns for ethics and sustainability can transform the practice of design for the 21st century. This pathfinding text extends beyond traditional design courses and professional practice, making it invaluable to students and practitioners across various fields such as architecture, the creative arts, business, and management. By exploring new methods and ideas, Design Futuring offers a fresh perspective on the role of design in addressing pressing global issues.
