Design for Sustainability: A Multi-level Framework from Products to Socio-technical Systems

Design for Sustainability: A Multi-level Framework from Products to Socio-technical Systems, by Fabrizio Ceschin (Brunel University London) and İdil Gaziulusoy (Aalto University), was published by Routledge in 2020 as part of its Focus on Environment and Sustainability series. The book traces the most significant ways design has been applied to sustainability challenges, using an evolutionary perspective, and proposes a framework that integrates the many design for sustainability approaches developed to date. It presents design as a catalyst that can shape the world at multiple levels, from materials and products up through product service systems, social organisations and entire socio-technical systems, and offers design practitioners and businesses practical examples, methods and tools for applying these approaches.
