The mass production, consumption and waste present in industrialised and urbanised societies have had a profound effect on the planet’s living systems and its vital resources. Already, many problems have emerged that emphasise the urgency for a more sustainable development in the future, where the economy, society and the environment are brought into harmony.
In this context, design and innovation have the potential to regenerate the natural environment and community culture while enhancing the value of products and services to business, customers and society in general. In order to meet the emerging scientific and technological challenges associated with the concept of sustainability, new design thinking, methods and tools are required.
IJSDes is devoted to the development, promotion and coordination of the science and practice of sustainable design.
 Objectives
IJSDes is a multidisciplinary journal that focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of sustainable design. It aims to establish an effective channel of communication between design experts in academic and research institutions, professionals working in industry and related businesses, government agencies and policy-makers concerned with sustainability issues in design. The international dimension of the journal is emphasised in order to overcome cultural and national barriers and to meet the needs of accelerating technological and ecological change and changes in the global economy. In addition, the journal allows researchers, practitioners and decision-makers to monitor and identify design strategies, solutions and trends on a global scale. Readership
IJSDes targets engineers, scientists, architects, industrial designers, design managers and other researchers and professionals working in design and product development with a particular involvement with or interest in sustainability issues. The subject matter covered in the journal is considered highly relevant to industry, academia and relevant government agencies. Contents
IJSDes publishes original peer-reviewed papers covering state-of-the-art research and development, industrial and research based practice. In addition, the journal also features relevant review papers and technical reports, novel application case studies, conference reports, book reviews and commentaries. Special Issues devoted to important topics in sustainable design will occasionally be published. The journal is published four times each year and is supported by an international Editorial Board.
