How can design meet our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own?
OPEN SOURCE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AGENDA provides you an opportunity to weigh in on a Sustainable Design Agenda, which describes the responsibilities we bear, cradle to grave, for what we choose to make.
The Agenda will have been initiated October 27th, at an ACM conference at UC Berkeley (http://tinyurl.com/m6mbn7), with the purpose of applying sustainable design ideas to software initiatives. This IxDA event provides a broader range of individuals to learn about, challenge, and contribute to a set of guiding principles and practices.
What concepts, practices, ethics, principles, methods, and case studies can we share which demonstrate effective and practical ecologic design work?
How must our assumptions and practices change to make responsible use of energy, water, and precious materials? How can the results of our design work encourage similarly positive behavior?
How can our practices — and our designs — encourage meaningful human interaction and correct matters of social disparity?
How can we amplify intelligence and divert bad decisions as we collaborate with executives, managers, and others to design and operate businesses that offer sufficient profits without doing violence to other values?
This IxDA session will be captured and plowed back into the publicly available Sustainable Design Agenda.
Biography
David Fore is a veteran interaction designer and Principal of Catabolic Design. He has designed software-powered systems ranging from medical information systems to financial analysis engines, organizational change initiatives to refinery operations, irrigation systems to epidemiology tracking software. His clients include 3M, AGFA, Johnson & Johnson, Environmental Defense Fund, General Electric, Autodesk, and CIGNA, to name just a few.
Until recently he headed up the consulting services at Cooper, the pioneering interaction design company. Over the course of his dozen years there he contributed to the development the Goal-Directed methods, which serve as a precursor to the ecologic interaction design methods he currently uses to build products, services, and systems that yield sustainable businesses that delight people, nourish social networks, and make responsible use of resources.
