A good read: Sustainability & Design

Together with interdisciplinary experts, practical recommendations are presented that firmly integrate ecological and social criteria into the work of creative professionals in product, industrial, and fashion design, interior design, and scenography. Unlike in more regulated disciplines such as architecture, processes in the broad design industry are less uniform. The guide provides orientation and facilitates the consistent consideration of sustainability criteria in project-related work. The aim is to ask the right questions at the right time in order to precisely determine the decisive factors for a robust, sustainable project evaluation.

Clearly structured chapters guide readers through all phases of a project—from the initial idea to the design, implementation, and utilization. Design is understood as a transformative discipline that changes value chains and helps shape social developments. Against this backdrop, the authors position the creative industries as key players in shaping a more sustainable future.
