Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Design

The Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Design considers the design, not only of artifacts, but of structures, systems, and interactions in the context of sustaining our shared planet. This revised edition introduces new and updated chapters, as well as a new section on pedagogy for sustainable design. With authors from around the world, design is positioned in context with recent crises such as global pandemics, racial reckoning, political unrest, and natural disasters. Just as design is an interdisciplinary field, the climate crisis is deeply tangled in racial justice, gender justice, global health, economics, trade, and more. Divided into six sections, it presents a holistic approach to understanding the many facets of sustainable design: - Part 1: Systems and Design - Part 2: Complexities of Sustainable Design - Part 3: Community Engaged Design for Local and Global Diversity - Part 4: Design for Sustainable Behaviors - Part 5: Design Futures - Part 6: Pedagogy in Design for Sustainability Arguing that design needs to restore, regenerate, and rejuvenate our planet and people, this handbook will be invaluable to researchers, students, and practitioners across all subdisciplines of design, architecture, business, energy management, visual arts, and environmental studies, among others.

Rachel Beth Egenhoefer is a design educator, sustainability and systems researcher, strategy consultant, and critical maker who uses design as a tool for social change. Her work focuses on shifting the narrative from sustainable design to regenerative, intersectional, systems change for the masses. She encourages regenerative actions to restore, rejuvenate, and reenergize ourselves, our communities, and our planet. Egenhoefer is a full professor in design at the University of San Francisco. She works to bridge academic speak, the design industry, and climate science to create lasting change for the everyday.
