Radical Design Thinking

Design for sustainability has become a complex and
diverse theme,
as well as executed practice. This book presents some
tools and
framework suited for industrial designers, architects
and planners
who see the need for both material and non-material
values and
priorities integrated in design for the future. The
Thinking model,
the main tool in the book, is a strong communicative
instrument as
well, and is the syntheses of a doctoral thesis
accomplished by
Kristin Støren Wigum. However, this book is in the
author's eyes,
raw material, that can be further developed along
with increased
experience and awareness, in society, organisations
and businesses.
