Transition Design: The Importance of Everyday Life and Lifestyles as a Leverage Point for Sustainability Transitions
Resumo
O desafio central da era atual é a transição para a sustentabilidade. Essa transição deve ser definida nos termos mais amplos possíveis. É um projeto político, social, econômico, cultural, científico e tecnológico: todas as dimensões dos assuntos humanos são desafiadas pela necessidade de transição e, como várias questões atingem pontos críticos (mudança climática, desigualdade, esgotamento de recursos, perda de biodiversidade, etc.) aumenta a urgência com que isso deve acontecer. A Escola de Design da Universidade Carnegie Mellon respondeu a esse desafio introduzindo o que chamou de “Design para Transição” nos currículos dos níveis de graduação, pós-graduação e doutorado (Irwin 2015) e que “leva como premissa central a necessidade de transições sociais em direção a futuros mais sustentáveis e argumenta que o design tem um papel fundamental a desempenhar nessas transições ”(Irwin et al. 2015b: 1).
