Abstract
IRWIN, Terry; TONKINWISE, Cameron and KOSSOFF, Gideon. Transition Design: An Educational Framework for Advancing the Study and Design of Sustainable Transitions. Cuad. Cent. Estud. Diseñ. Comun., Ensayos [online]. 2022, n.105, pp.31-72. Epub Mar 01, 2022. ISSN 1853-3523. http://dx.doi.org/10.18682/cdc.vi105.4188.
The following paper aims to purvey some of the design history and theory that is being used by the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon University in its effort to constitute the practice of Transition Design. It will explain how the profession and discipline of design is currently undergoing rapid expansion and transformation that afford a rich set of frameworks for transition design. This paper argues that not only can and should designers learn from transition studies, but that design can contribute reciprocally through new approaches to framing problems related to sociomaterial change within the context of complex ecosystems.
