Sustainability is a powerful force that is fundamentally
reshaping humanity s relationship to the natural world and is
ushering in the Age of Integration. The move from well-intentioned
environmental friendliness to the higher bar of integral
sustainability and regenerative design demands a new type of design
professional, one that is deeply collaborative, ethically grounded,
empathically connected and technologically empowered.
As a response, this book argues for a great leap forward in
design education: from an individualistic and competitive model
casually focused on greening; to a new approach defined by an
integral consciousness, shaped by the values of inclusivity and
cooperation, and implemented by a series of integrative behaviors
including:
- an ethically infused design brief
- a co-creative design process
- on-going value engineering
- pre-emptive engineering
- design validation through simulation
- on-line enabled integrated learning
- the use of well vetted rating systems.
This book contains the integral frameworks, whole system change
methodologies and intrinsic values that will assist professors and
their students in an authentic and effective pursuit of design
education for a sustainable future. "
