Sustainable by Design: Explorations in Theory and Practice

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781844073542

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.

Turning the Flywheel: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great
<p><strong>A companion guidebook to the number-one bestselling <em>Good to Great</em>, focused on implementation of the flywheel concept, one of Jim Collins' most memorable ideas that has been used across industries and the social sectors, and with startups.</strong></p><p>The key to business success is not a single innovation or one plan.
