‘A Kind Of Blue’ - Experiments in Sustainable Product Design an Exhibition of Work by Stuart Walker the Design Museum, London, Spring/Summer, 2000
At present, there are few more widely used but poorly interpreted terms than sustainability. For design, it remains an elusive and as yet ill-defined, ‘wicked’ problem. Our most successful and visible manifestations of designed sustainability have perhaps been a generation of green {re-used, recycled, recyclable} products around ten years ago and more recently the development of the ‘lifecycle’ approach, in which all a product's impacts are considered throughout its complete life. However, sustainability will and should be diverse, represented by a variety of design philosophies and approaches. Those stretching the boundaries in the theory and practice of sustainable design deserve acknowledgement and attention.
