Preface
Resumo
É necessária uma mudança em todos os níveis de nossa sociedade para enfrentar os problemas do século XXI. A mudança climática, a perda de biodiversidade, a migração forçada, o esgotamento dos recursos naturais e o crescente fosso entre ricos e pobres são só alguns problemas perversos que requerem novos enfoques para a resolução de problemas. O design de transição ou design para a transição reúne dois conceitos poderosos: a) a ideia de que todas as sociedades necessitarão uma transição até um futuro sustentável, e b) a compreensão de que isto implicará uma mudança ao nível do sistema informado por um profundo conhecimento da anatomia e dinâmica dos sistemas complexos.
Este campo emergente de estudos de transição abarca agora uma comunidade de pesquisadores internacionais das áreas de ciências sociais e administrativas, engenharia, ativismo e disciplinas relacionadas. Entretanto, as contribuições do campo do design e suas subdisciplinas relacionadas são ainda relativamente excepcionais, e o design de transição procura abordar este fosso. Isto é surpreendente pelo grau em que o design impregna os sistemas sócio técnicos e está presente na maioria dos problemas perversos mencionados. Esta ubiquidade, junto com a evolução do design nas últimas décadas para se converter numa disciplina altamente integradora, posiciona ao design e aos designers como pontos de alavancagem potencialmente potentes para uma mudança positiva no nível dos sistemas.
