Modern Era

The existence of Javanese Pedan lurik weaving which is one of the Indonesian cultural heritages that needs to be preserved in this modern era. Using the method of observation, visual analysis and experimentation, it is designed to revitalize fashion products by utilizing Javanese lurik woven cloth intended for Indonesian urbanites with a character of young spirit, full of locality, and love of culture. Sustainable design methods become a solution by considering the impact on the natural and social environment at each stage, which will later be related to the economy of the community. Through this article, it is hoped that it will enrich the development of fashion products with Indonesian cultural nuances that will increase the selling power of Javanese lurik woven into the wider community. In addition, using revitalized Javanese Pedan motifs and patterns that have been revitalized, it is hoped that the public will become more aware that there are still regional motifs and patterns that are still unexplored and is expected to be more known and awake sustainability.

Much progress has been made in sustainable design over the past 20 years since the first publications on design for the environment started to appear in the mechanical engineering literature. Engineering design methods now attempt to include environmental considerations and Life-Cycle Analysis is a commonly used approach nowadays. Nevertheless, some fundamental problems seem to be recurring and remain unresolved. More so, some of these problems can have significant effects on the efficacy of design methods. Without consideration or even acknowledgement of these problems, proposed sustainable design methods may not bring us closer to sustainability at all. In this paper, we highlight a few of these recurring problems. Although true sustainable design should also include social and financial considerations, we will focus primarily on the environmental issues in this paper.

When teaching sustainable design in industry or academia, we should teach design methods, activities, and mindsets that are most effective at driving real change in a industry. However, most studies of design practices are performed on students, not on professionals. How strongly do student perceptions of value predict those of industry teams designing real products? This study provided workshops on three sustainable design methods (The Natural Step, Whole System Mapping, and Biomimicry) for 172 professionals and 204 students, applying the methods to their actual products being developed. It surveyed both populations about which activities or mindsets within each design method provided sustainability value, innovation value, and overall value. Quantitatively, student results did not strongly predict professional opinions; professionals chose clearer favorites and valued more things. However, qualitatively, student results did predict the reasons why professionals would value the design activities and mindsets. Therefore, care should be taken to choose appropriate participants for the questions being asked in sustainable design research.

This Sustainable design nowadays is the very popular designing principle in architecture, Varies of methods for saving energy has been developed that gives the possibility to be brought out in the real projects. This essay outlets all kinds of design methods and technologies. Besides, only suitable methods and technologies are chosen and applied to the primordial design of the resort hotel for seniors. Enough outdoor space takes part in the building for senior’s entertainment, communication, sports and so on. All service facilities are about seniors. A healthcare make senior’s life more enjoyable. In conclusion, this resort all serves seniors. Resort is a new supporting seniors model. My resort has done some exploration for the feature and development of this model.

Abstract Recommendations of sustainable design methods are usually based on theory, not empirical industry tests. Furthermore, since professionals often mix components of different design methods, recommending whole methods may not be relevant. It may be better to recommend component activities or mindsets. To provide empirical grounding for recommendations, this study performed 23 workshops on three sustainable design methods involving over 172 professionals from 27 companies, including consultancies and manufacturers in three industries (consumer electronics, furniture and clothing). The design methods tested were The Natural Step, Whole System Mapping and Biomimicry. Participants were surveyed about what components in each design method drove perceived innovation, sustainability or other value, and why. The most valued components only partially supported theoretical predictions. Thus, recommendations should be more empirically based. Results also found unique and complementary value in components of each method, which suggests recommending mixed methods for sustainable design. This may help design professionals find more value in green design practices, and thus integrate sustainability more into their practice.

Sustainable design methods and tools abound, but their implementation in practice remains marginal. This article brings together results from previous literature reviews and analyses of sustainable design methods and tools, as well as input from design researchers and professional practitioners to identify the needs and gaps in the area. It results in a shared vision of how sustainable design methods and tools can be more tightly integrated into mainstream product design and development, as well as the current state of practice and research in relation to four central questions: What are the needs and values of industry regarding sustainable design? What improvements in sustainable design methods and tools would most drive industry forward? How should researchers move forward with developing more useful sustainable design methods and tools? How can sustainable design be more effectively integrated into industry? A roadmap for the international sustainable design research community is proposed with descriptions of short-, medium-, and long-term tasks for addressing each question. The purpose is to support collective progress and discussions on method and tool development and adoption, and to enable more tangible success in mainstreaming sustainable design practices in industry.
