Why do we readily dispose of some things, whereas we keep and
maintain others for years, despite their obvious wear and tear? Can
a greater understanding of aesthetic value lead to a more strategic
and sustainable approach to product design? Aesthetic
Sustainability: Product Design and Sustainable Usage offers
guidelines for ways to reduce, rethink, and reform consumption. Its
focus on aesthetics adds a new dimension to the creation, as well
as the consumption, of sustainable products. The chapters offer
innovative ways of working with expressional durability in the
design process. Aesthetic Sustainability: Product Design and
Sustainable Usage is related to emotional durability in the sense
that the focus is on the psychological and sensuous bond between
subject and object. But the subject-object connection is based on
more than emotions: aesthetically sustainable objects continuously
add nourishment to human life. This book explores the difference
between sentimental value and aesthetic value, and it offers
suggestions for operational approaches that can be implemented in
the design process to increase aesthetic sustainability. This book
also offers a thorough presentation of aesthetics, focusing on the
correlation between the philosophical approach to the aesthetic
experience and the durable design experience. The book is of
interest to students and scholars working in the fields of design,
arts, the humanities and social sciences; additionally, it will
speak to designers and other professionals with an interest in
sustainability and aesthetic value.
