The Value of Design in a Sustainability Context Karen Blincoe. Brighton Lecture. Dec. 2010

Design is seen as the link between production and consumption And therefore has been and still is an essential factor in unsustainable behaviour patterns.

Design is an essential tool in the process of development and globalisation Design is a driver of consumer goods Design is an essential factor in competition Design creates value (in terms of profit) for businesses and corporations Design is furthering unsustainable behaviour

Design pushes consumerism: ‘I shop therefore I am’ Design is used to awaken unfulfilled desires Design creates needs and wants for values related to products: False identity, power, strength, confidence, beauty, youth. A material value that is short-lived. Design is furthering unsustainable behaviour relating to both the environment and human issues

The education and practice of design is changing

Co-creation Participatory design User-centered design Nudging Design is now also the link between production and consumption that can further sustainable behaviour:

From designing products to designing processes and systems Solving complex and multi-layered designproblems and developing sustainable solutions Social innovation design Environmental innovation design Examples: Design Council: Social experiments, promoting sustainability John Thackara: Northern England and in the Southwest, rural regeneration Worldwide network Citizen’s selfservice systems in Denmark Healthsystems Transportation systems Car industry: ‘Better cars’, leasing, renting, sharing Eco-Housing Sustainable products Design is a tool for sustainable development

Transportation products and systems Design is the link between production and consumption furthering sustainable behaviour:

Energy systems Design as the link between production and consumption furthering sustainable behaviour:

Biomimicry design

Building industry Design as the link between production and consumption furthering sustainable behaviour:

Condensation water systems Design as the link between production and consumption furthering sustainable behaviour:

New technology Design as a tool for sustainability

facilitation The new value of design connections participation collaboration creativity and innovation communication inspiration visualisation SCALES Skills Change Awareness Learning Ethics Synergy co-creation

Sustainable solutions to complex problems need the collaboration of many i.e. they need ‘collective wisdom Source of figure: Anonymous, p116, Chapman & Gant (2007) Designers, Visionaries & Other Stories, London, Earthscan.
