Design for the New World

"Design for the New World aims to introduce a new paradigm in design and design thinking, by shifting our approach from a human perspective that is primarily focused on human scales, needs, and desires, to a planet perspective, in which design is guided by the ambition to create a balanced coexistence between humans and the other species that make up the global ecosystem. This book connects traditional design thinking with on-going debates about the Anthropocene and innovative perspectives from systems thinking, systemic leadership, and indigenous practices. Intervening in current discussions within design research about the role design can play in the sustainable transition, it offers new methods and mindsets to handle the scale and complexity of the climate and environmental crisis, and practical tools to turn theoretical reflections into transformative practice."--Provided by publisher.
