The irreversibility of environmental damagesIn 50 years the worldwide systems of production and consumption
should use 90% LESS resources, than what are being used today

What is environmental sustainability?
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
What is environmental sustainability? It refers to the systematic conditions through which, at a global and regional level, human activities should not interfere with the natural cycles (on which they are based) more than the planet’s resiliency can take.

! To these mainly ‘physical’ characteristics, we should add an ethical one: the equity principle by which each person has the right to the same environmental space, that is, the same availability of global natural resources

2.Redesigning wellbeing & consumerism
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
A social ‘learning’ processThe transition towards sustainability will be a social learning process thanks to which, progressively, through trial and error, we will learn to live better consuming (much) less and regenerating the quality of our physical and social environment.
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
more wellbeing
= more products
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
more wellbeing =
+ information+ services+ experiences

de-materialization of the social demand of welfare
In order to reduce the material and energetic quantity that a system needs, we propose a process of
This is intended as a drastic reduction of the number of products and services needed to reach a socially acceptable welfare

New products and servicesbased on what the user knows, wants and can do.
For example
> These are systems of products and services that, depending on the result to be achieved, provide the user with the best means to reach it by making the best use of his capacities and skills
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
...but human nature is not that simple and mono-logic
Historically, the idea of comfort is based on the minimization of the personal efforts,
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011

Critical consumerismis based on the possibility that users have of taking consumerism decisions that will influence the market (and consequently, will influence the offer of products and services)

The social role of the Designer
> To contribute by rising the number of alternatives, technically and economically practicable.
> To promote the capacities of the users, their possibility to participate personally and directly in the definition of results and the means to achieve those results
> To stimulate people’s imagination with new cultural proposals, new values and ideas of quality, to influence them with new standards of welfare (influencing then the demand of goods and services)

Aesthetics are
very important

We must seek the local expression in each culture in order to promote non-esthetically obsolete objects that are also attractive
>These new aesthetics should not only consider products, but also services and economical interactions

System innovationTherefore, we talk about
It’s the shift from designing products and services to designing a System
The innovation will lie on the combination of these products and services that jointly satisfy a need, but also the innovation on the economical (or collaborative) relationships amongst the actors of the system

>Satisfaction-based systems: the systems is based on the satisfaction of a need, not on the selling of a new product, so it’s not a bout a new product, but about all the products and services (and processes) involved in the satisfaction of a need.

Eco-efficient System Design Criteriaa) System life optimizationb) Transport and distribution reductionc) Resource reductiond) Waste minimization and valorizatione) Conservation-biocompatibilityf) Toxicity reduction
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
System life optimizationDesign to orient the interactions between the system’s actors towards:The optimization of the SUM of the necessary products and services lives
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Transport and distribution reductionDesign to orient the interactions between the system’s actors towards:The reduction of the SUM of the necessary packagings and transportations
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Resource reduction
Resource minimization : quantitative reduction of the impact (of the total PSS)For all the life-cycle stages: pre-production, production, distribution y disposition of what hasn’t been used
Design to orient the interactions between the system’s actors towards:The reduction of the SUM of the resources used by all the products and services of the system
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Waste minimization and valorizationDesign to orient the interactions between the system’s actors towards:Improving the SUM of the recycling methods for the system’s elements, energy recovery and composting; and the reduction of the SUM of the waste produced by the system
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Conservation-biocompatibilityDesign to orient the interactions between the system’s actors towards:The improvement of the conservation and renewability of the SUM of the used resources
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Toxicity reductionDesign to orient the interactions between the system’s actors towards:The toxicity reduction (or elimination) regarding the SUM of the resources used by the system

5.Design for social equity and cohesion
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
‘Design for social equity and cohesion’ Criteria:a) Improve working conditionsb) Ensure justice and equality for all the actors of the systemc) Encourage sustainable and responsible consumptiond) Favor and integrate the weak and marginalizede) Improve social cohesionf) Enable and empower local resources
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Improve working conditions(inside a company)
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Ensure justice and equality for all the actors of the system- Design for just and equitable relationships (outside the company): amongst the associations, the society and the community where the design will be incorporated.
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Encourage sustainable and responsible consumption- Design of systems that facilitate a sustainable behavior regarding the user’s decisions
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Favor and integrate the weak and marginalDesign of systems that integrate:- Children, elderly, disabled (weak) and - unemployed, illiterate (marginal).
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Improve social cohesionDesign of systems that promote the social integration in a neighborhood, between generations, genres, cultures, ...
mercoledì 16 novembre 2011
Enable and empower local resourcesDesign of systems that regenerate and empower local economies.

How do environmental and social sustainability converge?By using mainly local and regenerative resources
+ Introducing networks of decentralized systems for the extraction/production/use of such resources.
