Sound Of Sirens

Starting new conversations on design and innovation.

Doors of Perception is a design blog that not infrequently picks out the issue of design and sustainabilty.

I.e. read this article about ‘Ecocide’!

‘[...] A good example of ecocidal policy in action was an announcement last week concerning the Design Centre of the North (DCN). The regional development agency, One North East, has published a public call for tenders for organisations to run the new institution.

The word sustainability does not appear, once, in the accompanying text - despite the fact that 80 percent of the environmental impact of products and buildings is determined at the design stage. [...]‘

‘[...] Professional design bodies and old-paradigm design schools will persist in dragging their feet - but they are baggage we can afford to leave behind.’

Word!
