Design For Sustainability

El campo del diseño para la sostenibilidad ha evolucionado considerablemente en las últimas décadas. Sus inicios se caracterizaron por abordar problemas individuales de forma aislada, con una predisposición principalmente optimista desde el punto de vista tecnológico y un enfoque en la innovación incremental de productos. Actualmente, “el borde” del campo se ocupa estratégicamente de problemas sistémicos a largo plazo, con un enfoque en el bienestar humano y el ecosistema. Esta evolución se ha alineado y ha sido parcialmente influenciada por la emergencia de la ciencia de la sostenibilidad y las innovaciones de sistemas y las teorías de las transiciones, así como por el avance científico que apunta a la creciente urgencia de la acción. Este artículo presenta una visión general del surgimiento del Diseño para la Transición, analiza el estado actual de la teoría y la práctica, y proporciona sugerencias para el avance teórico y práctico del campo.

Sustainability transitions have formed a vast body of literature on theory and practice of transforming socio-technical systems to achieve sustainability over the past few decades. Lately, a new area has been emerging in the design for the sustainability field, where sustainability transitions theories are integrated with design theory, education and practice. This emerging area is referred to as design for sustainability transitions or transition design. In order to build an understanding of the emergence and growth of this area, this article presents an overview of origins, development and current status of design for sustainability transitions drawing on key contributions. We also provide a comparative analysis of these key contributions in regards to their theoretical underpinnings, definitions of sustainability, conceptual framings for the roles of design(ers) and premises of methods and applications.

AbstractProduct-service systems (PSSs) are regarded as one of the promising ways to contribute to a sustainable society. Despite the well-developed knowledge, PSS design lack of long-term perspective to treat related changes and uncertainties. To address this issue, this paper proposes a conceptual framework of sustainable PSS design for sustainability transition by integrating insight from design approach for system innovation and transition. Applicability of the proposed framework is illustrated through application to example of PSS development project for wildlife nuisance in a suburban city.

Relational Issue

Our contemporary world is organized in a modern/colonial structure. As people, professions and practices engage in cross-country Design for Sustainability (DfS), projects have the potential of sustaining or changing modern/colonial power structures. In such project relations, good intentions in working for sustainability do not directly result in liberation from modern/colonial power structures. In this paper we introduce three approaches in DfS that deal with power relations. Using a Freirean (1970) decolonial perspective, we analyse these approaches to see how they can inform DfS towards being decolonial and anti-oppressive. We conclude that steering DfS to become decolonial or colonizing is a relational issue based on the interplay between the designers’ position in the modern/colonial structure, the design approach chosen, the place and the people involved in DfS. Hence, a continuous critical reflexive practice is needed in order to prevent DfS from becoming yet another colonial tool.
