Applied Design Research
Design and research are two fields of knowledge that each has its traditions, methods, standards and practices. These two worlds appear to be quite separate, with researchers investigating what exists, and designers visualising what could be. This book builds a bridge between both worlds by showing how design and research can be integrated to develop a new field of knowledge. Applied Design Research: A Mosaic of 22 Examples, Experiences and Interpretations Focussing on Bridging the Gap between Practice and Academics contains 22 inspiring reflections that demonstrate how the unique qualities of research (aimed at studying the present) and design (aimed at developing the future) can be combine...

New Business for Old Europe
Selling products used to be the standard way of doing business. Traditionally, it is left to the user to transform the purchase of a product into something that fulfils effectively a final-user need. Today, two streams of research – business management and sustainability – normally with very distinct perspectives on the world, have surprisingly converged to form a common conclusion: selling products is old-fashioned business. Companies should switch their focus to selling need fulfilment, satisfaction, or experiences. Or, in other words, selling integrated solutions or product-services. The business management literature argues that, by focusing on the integrated, final-client needs, and...
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 und...
Les vrais révolutionnaires du numérique
"Loin des patrons de start-up ou des gourous du high-tech, trop souvent présentés comme les acteurs ou experts d'une révolution réduite à l'Internet et au mobile, ce livre plonge le lecteur dans un monde où les révolutionnaires sont des citoyens ordinaires, de tous âges, toutes confessions, toutes origines sociales. Ils sont mus par des motivations variées, parfois inattendues, voire loufoques, souvent peu durables, mais capables de changer les choses et peut-être le monde! Sous l'effet de la mise en réseau, l'action, même isolée, devient contagieuse, entraîne d'autres motivations et ainsi de suite. Observateurs reconnus des transformations de la société, les deux auteurs don...
