Design for Wellbeing charts the development and application of
design research to improve the personal and societal wellbeing and
happiness of people. It draws together contributions from
internationally leading academics and designers to demonstrate the
latest thinking and research on the design of products,
technologies, environments, services and experiences for wellbeing.
Part I starts by conceptualising wellbeing and takes an in-depth
look at the rise of the design for wellbeing movement. Part II then
goes on to demonstrate design for wellbeing in practice through a
broad range of domains from products and environments to services.
Among others, we see emerging trends in the design of interiors and
urban spaces to support wellbeing, designing to enable and support
connectedness and social interaction, and designing for behaviour
change to tackle unhealthy eating behaviour in children.
Significantly, the body of work on subjective wellbeing, design for
happiness, is increasing, and several case studies are provided on
this, demonstrating how design can contribute to support the
wellbeing of people. Part III provides practical guidance for
designing for wellbeing through a range of examples of tools,
methods and approaches, which are highly user-centric,
participatory, critical and speculative. Finally, the book
concludes in Part IV with a look at future challenges for design
for wellbeing. This book provides students, researchers and
practitioners with a detailed assessment of design for wellbeing,
taking a distinctive global approach to design practice and theory
in context. Design for Wellbeing concerns designers and
organisations but also defines its broader contribution to society,
culture and economy.
