2. 1. Designing for sustainability practices : RE-DO Design Doings, Strategies and Postures

   Author : Mia Hesselgren; Sara Ilsted; Elina Eriksson; Sampsa Hyysalo; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sustainability transitions; Transition design; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : Tackling current sustainability challenges requires substantial societal and social changes, and many different strategies for their deployment. More people have to choose sustainability practices, such as sustainable mobility practices, but such transitions are not easily accomplished. READ MORE

4. 2. Sharing The Design Authorship Of Sustainability : Towards co-creation of sustainable transport systems and practices

   Author : Liridona Sopjani; Sofia Ritzén; Jenny Janhager Stier; Sampsa Hyysalo; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; co-creation; design; sustainable transport systems; sustainable design; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

   Abstract : Any separation between technology and society can be claimed to be artificial. Technological material systems are intertwined with human everyday life practices and ways of living, values, and belief systems. When we design and develop new technological systems, we are also designing opportunities for new daily living practices to emerge. READ MORE

5. 3. Circular design through co-creation: Exploring perspectives and future directions for design in a circular economy

   Author : Giliam Dokter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Circular Economy; Co-creation; Design practice; Prototyping; Design for Sustainability; Circular Design;

   Abstract : In the efforts to stimulate sustainable development, the circular economy aims to establish ‘closed-loop’ flows of resources in a way that enables businesses and society to reap benefits from maintaining products, components and materials at their highest utility and value, while simultaneously reducing the generation of waste. Designing for a circular economy will require designers to, more than ever, anticipate how artifacts function and change over time and conceptualise the entire lifecycle (including the design, production, use and end-of-life phase) in a coherent and holistic way.

   Abstract : While the design industry is moving into new domains, it seems that potential customers do not always understand how the designer can contribute beyond the aesthetically appealing product. The overall purpose of this thesis is to expand our understanding of design as an enabling service in the context of small and medium sized enterprises. READ MORE
