Description
Sustainable Design: Theories and Practice will provide students with a framework for understanding key concepts in sustainable design, assisting you to locate, identify and creatively engage with important underpinning themes and contemporary interpretations that have influenced and continue to shape contemporary design practice. A scholarly approach explores a wide range of sources related to interdisciplinary design issues and pragmatic considerations including systemic relationships between natural and anthropological systems, the dynamics of social, economic and environmental contexts for design, and attitudes towards responsibility in contemporary practice.
