Sustainist Design Primer: Collaborative Design for Connectivity, Localism, and Sustainable Life

4.1/5 ( ratings)

A practice of "social design" has emerged around issues such as community, crafts, sustainable living, public space, and housing. In the context of an emerging "culture of sustainism," many successful social design projects have embraced qualities such as connectivity, sharing, and localism, as well as sustainability. Sustainism Design Primer charts what such "sustainist" values could mean for the practice of social design.

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 sustainism design, maps out best practices, and explores workable ideas for developing future social design.

He has advised public organizations and has initiated a wide range of projects on global issues, sustainable futures, design strategies, media culture, and innovation.
