Description: There has been a plethora of work published on the topic of sustainability, much of which entails a case-by-case analysis of various projects in architecture, urbanism, and product design. This book brings together various perspectives on sustainability.
Synopsis: Recently there has been a plethora of work published on the topic of sustainability, much of which is purely theoretical or technical in its approach. More often than not these books fail to introduce readers to the larger challenge of what thinking sustainably might entail. Combining a series of well know authors in contemporary philosophy with established practitioners of sustainable design, this book develops a coherent theoretical framework for how theories of sustainability might engage with the growing practice of design. This book: * brings together new and emerging perspectives on sustainability * provides cohesive and jargon-free reading * articulates the specificity of both theory and practice, to develop a symbiotic relationship which allows the reader to understand what thinking sustainably entails This volume describes a variety of new ways to approach sustainable design and it equips the next generation of designers with necessary conceptual tools for thinking sustainably.
