Steven Bishop, design for sustainability lead at IDEO, a premier design consultancy that regularly tops BusinessWeek magazine's innovation rankings, discusses the relationship between good design and sustainability.
From the interview: "The definition of what good design is is changing-- a good design now takes into consideration how it fits into larger systems, whether it’s social systems, how people relate; business systems, or how it fits into the industry; technical systems -- what’s available out there in the technology world; or ecological systems. The best thing the designers can do today for the planet is to get to work and start putting good designs out in the world. Small problems, the big problems of the world--take them all on."
