Share this Book Critical Perspectives and Dialogues about Design and Sustainability
This is a critical time in design. Concepts and practices of design are changing in response to historical developments in the modes of industrial design production and consumption. Indeed, the imperative of more sustainable development requires profound reconsideration of design today. Theoretical foundations and professional definitions are at stake, with consequences for institutions such as museums and universities as well as for future practitioners. This is "critical" on many levels, from the urgent need to address societal and environmental issues to the reflexivity required to think and do design differently.
