Postcards From “the Edge”: Toward Futures of Design for Sustainability Transitions
Resumo
O campo do design para a sustentabilidade evolucionou consideravelmente nas últimas décadas. Seus inícios se caracterizaram pela abordagem de problemas individuais de modo isolado, com uma predisposição principalmente optimista desde o ponto de vista tecnológico e um enfoque na inovação progressiva de produtos. Atualmente, o limite do campo ocupa-se estrategicamente de problemas sistêmicos ao longo prazo, com um enfoque no bem-estar humano e o ecossistema. Esta evolução se alinhou e foi parcialmente influenciada pela emergência da ciência da sustentabilidade e as inovações de sistemas e as teorias das transições, assim como pelo avanço científico que aponta á crescente urgência da ação. Este artigo apresenta uma visão geral do surgimento do Design para a Transição, analisa o estado atual da teoria e a prática y faz sugestões para o avanço teórico e prático do campo.
