The publication Tools for the Design Revolution shows the position of current designs at a critical turning point in history and offers practical guidelines and tools for sustainable design processes. The tools come in the form of strategies for sustainable design that clear the way to a social, ecological and ethically sustainable future. Letting go of traditional, established product and design ideas is getting more and more important. In the past, design used to be a service for the industry. In the future, the tools of design should be in the hands of the public. Terms like “cradle to cradle” or “open source design” stand for a changing understanding of design processes. Learning from each other, exploring experimental strategies and mindsets in combination with scientifically proven methods is the key to change. Design is more than just giving an appearance to products – it plays a vital role in changing the appearance of a society fit for the future as well as in the formulation of sustainable lifestyles based on global solidarity. Tools for the Design Revolution invites you to take part in a critical examination of topics like sustainability and your own consumer culture.
