Críticas:
'Books like this one have such an important role to play.' John Thackara, Director, Doors of Perception 'These essays, by the most experienced design thinkers, help readers keep track of changes and hone their ability to prevent mankind from overheating.'

Aidan Rowe, University of Alberta, Canada ' ... these discussions will assist expert and novice alike to reposition themselves for the future in a relatively new and developing discipline.'

Reseña del editor:
Designers, Visionaries and Other Stories unpacks the complex and crucial debates surrounding sustainable design to deliver a compelling manifesto for change, at a time of looming ecological crisis, mounting environmental legislation and limited progress. This is a book about sustainable design, by the leading sustainable design thinkers, for creative practitioners, professionals, students and academics. This challenging work provides the reader with a rich resource of future visions, critical propositions, creative ideas and design strategies for working towards a sustainable tomorrow, today. The authors boldly present alternative understandings of sustainable design, to curate a challenging, sometimes uncomfortable and always provocative, collection of essays by some of the worlds leading sustainable design thinkers. The result is an impacting and polemical anthology that reinvigorates the culture of critique that, in previous years, has empowered design with the qualities of social, environmental and economic revolution.
