Long-sighted, radical and provocative, this book offers a
foundational framework of concepts, principles and methods
(exemplified with selected tools) to enable metadesigners to manage
and reinvent their practices. The book reminds readers that
designers are, albeit unwittingly, helping to shape the
Anthropocene. Despite their willingness to deliver greener products
and services, designers find themselves part of an industry that
has become the go-to catalyst for dividends and profit. If our
species is to achieve the rehabilitation and metamorphosis, we may
need to design at the level of paradigms, genres, lifestyles and
currencies. This would mean making design more integrated,
comprehensive, adaptive, transdisciplinary, self-reflexive and
relational. The book, therefore, advocates a shift of emphasis from
designing 'sustainable' products, services and systems towards
cultivating synergies that will induce regenerative lifestyles. The
book will be of interest to managers, designers, scholars and
educators from a wide range of backgrounds, including design
research, design history, design studies and environmental studies.
