The David Report: The Sustainable Wheel
The David Report offers up an important bulletin on sustainable design. Called “The Sustainable Wheel,” the bulletin describes “an imaginary wheel created by Designboost which could work as a tool for designers, companies and organisations when defining sustainable design. You will also find an interview with designer researcher Jennifer Leonard.”
They’re offering an important perspective here:
The climate debate is probably the one sole topic getting the most attention in the global media torrent. The discussions on sustainable design are there, lurking in the shadows, but David Report is of the opinion that the concept is too narrow. Often it is about romanticising different ways of production, with emphasis on the environmental aspect which of course is important, but we shouldn’t forget that design is more complex than that. ”Green” or ”eco” are only parts of the concept sustainable design.
