Postcards From “the Edge”: Toward Futures of Design for Sustainability Transitions
Resumen
El campo del diseño para la sostenibilidad ha evolucionado considerablemente en las últimas décadas. Sus inicios se caracterizaron por abordar problemas individuales de forma aislada, con una predisposición principalmente optimista desde el punto de vista tecnológico y un enfoque en la innovación incremental de productos. Actualmente, “el borde” del campo se ocupa estratégicamente de problemas sistémicos a largo plazo, con un enfoque en el bienestar humano y el ecosistema. Esta evolución se ha alineado y ha sido parcialmente influenciada por la emergencia de la ciencia de la sostenibilidad y las innovaciones de sistemas y las teorías de las transiciones, así como por el avance científico que apunta a la creciente urgencia de la acción. Este artículo presenta una visión general del surgimiento del Diseño para la Transición, analiza el estado actual de la teoría y la práctica, y proporciona sugerencias para el avance teórico y práctico del campo.
