Reintroducing Materials for Sustainable Design provides
instrumental theory and practical guidance to bring materials back
into a central role in the design process and education. To create
designs that are sustainable and respond to current environmental,
economic and cultural concerns, practitioners and educators require
a clear framework for materials use in design and product
manufacturing. While much has been written about sustainable design
over the last two decades, outlining systems of sustainability and
product criteria, to design for material circularity requires a
detailed understanding of the physical matter that constitutes
products. Designers must not just know of materials but know how to
manipulate them and work with them creatively. This book responds
to the gap by offering a way to acquire the material knowledge
necessary to design physical objects for sustainability. It
reinforces the key role and responsibility of designers and
encourages designers to take back control over the ideation and
manufacturing process. Finally, it discusses the educational
practice involved and the potential implications for design
education following implementation, addressing didactics,
facilities and expertise. This guide is a must-read for designers,
educators and researchers engaged in sustainable product design and
materials.
