Green Design: Design for the Environment [Hardcover]

Dorothy MacKenzie (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1997 | Series: Design

The second edition of a design reference which sets out to define the issues faced by designers in applying environmental considerations during the process of their work. This edition has been revised to take account of recent developments which go some way to indicate that the contribution of design to environmental conservation has become increasingly recognized. Many companies have made progress in reducing the deleterious effects of their manufacturing operations. Problems are addressed in the fields of architecture and interior design, product design, packaging, print, graphics and textiles. An environmental approach in the whole design-to-production cycle means that decisions must be made about the choice of materials, minimization of resources, type of energy source, the length of life of products, and how to dispose of them when they are no longer of use.
