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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032071028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032071022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.69h x 6.85w x 0.55d","brand":"John Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545617584383,"sku":"9781032071022","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52c72985-2d78-4e5e-a1fe-c7e3deee280c.jpg?v=1738182935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/metadesigning-designing-in-the-anthropocene-john-wood-9781032071022","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
