Sustainist Design Primer is the first book that takes the recent idea of sustainism as the new ethos of the 21st century - into the realm of social design thinking and practice. It formulates an open-ended agenda for social design, and presents a set of design criteria that goes well beyond green design. It brings together the key principles for sustainist design, maps out best practices, and explores workable ideas for developing future social design. It provides a framework for co-designing a life-world that is more connected, more shared, more localist and more sustainable.
