Transition Design: The Importance of Everyday Life and Lifestyles as a Leverage Point for Sustainability Transitions
Résumé
El desafío central de la era actual es la transición hacia la sostenibilidad. Esta transición debe definirse en los términos más amplios posibles. Es un proyecto que es a la vez político, social, económico, cultural, científico y tecnológico: cada dimensión de los asuntos humanos se ve desafiada por la necesidad de transición y, a medida que varios temas alcanzan puntos críticos (cambio climático, inequidad, agotamiento de recursos, pérdida de biodiversidad, etc.) aumenta la urgencia con la que esto debe suceder. La Escuela de Diseño de la Universidad Carnegie Mellon ha respondido a este desafío mediante la introducción de lo que ha llamado “Diseño para la Transición” en los planes de estudio en los niveles de pregrado, posgrado y doctorado (Irwin 2015) y que “toma como premisa central la necesidad de transiciones sociales hacia futuros más sostenibles y argumenta que el diseño tiene un papel clave que desempeñar en estas transiciones” (Irwin et al. 2015b: 1).
