Description

To advance the subject of design one has to engage in the activity of designing. Sustainable by Design offers a compelling and innovative; design-centred approach that explores both the meaning and practice of sustainable design. Walker explores the design process in the context of sustainability; and challenges conventional ways of defining; designing and producing functional objects. He discusses the personal design process; tacit knowledge; ephemeral design; experimental design; and the relationship between intellectual design criteria; physical expression and aesthetic experience.This book will introduce vital concepts to students and will inspire designers by providing a well-articulated basis for understanding the complexity and potential of sustainable design; and extolling the contribution of design to the creation of a more meaningful material culture.
