Abstract

Products that Last starts where most books on product development end. This new edition (first self-published by the TU Delft) contains new examples and insights from recent publications. From the perspective of designers and entrepreneurs, once a product has been designed, produced and sold, it disappears beyond the newness horizon. They are little aware of the opportunities that exist in the next product universe, where money is made from products in use, as well as from a product's afterlife. These opportunities clearly exist, otherwise they would not be providing an income for so many people. However, to be recognized as segments of a circle of continuous value creation, they need reframing.

Abstract

Products that Last begint, waar de meeste boeken over productontwikkeling eindigen. Als een product ontworpen, gemaakt en verkocht is, verdwijnt het, vanuit het perspectief van ontwerpers en ondernemers voorbij de ‘nieuwheidshorizon'. Zij beseffen nauwelijks wat er voor kansen liggen in het volgende productuniversum, waar geld wordt verdiend aan producten in gebruik en in het ‘productenhiernamaals'. Dit boek biedt lezers een innovatieve, praktische methodologie voor het ontrafelen van de levenslijn van een product en het systematisch napluizen op nieuwe kansen. Het maakt ons bekend met businessmodellen die gedijen bij de kansen die voortkomen uit een veel langer productleven. Het verandert de manier waarop ondernemers en ontwerpers producten ontwikkelen en exploiteren, die daarmee helpen het verbruik van materiaal en energie in de tijd te verminderen.

Abstract

"We're filling up the world with technology and devices, but we've lost sight of an important question: What is this stuff for? What value does it add to our lives? So asks author John Thackara in his new book, In the Bubble: Designing in a Complex World." "In the Bubble is about a world based less on stuff and more on people. Thackara describes a transformation that is taking place now - not in a remote science-fiction future. We are regaining respect for what people can do that technology can't. In the Bubble describes services designed to help people carry out daily activities in new ways. Many of these services involve technology - ranging from body implants to wide-bodied jets. But objects and systems play a supporting role in a people-centered world. The design focus is on services, not things. And new principles - above all, lightness - inform the way these services are designed and used. At the heart of In the Bubble is a belief, informed by a wealth of real-world examples, that ethics and responsibility can inform design decisions without impeding social and technical innovation."--Jacket.

Abstract

Ecodesign staat voor het integreren van ecologie in het ontwerpproces van alle mogelijke producten, van speelgoed, verpakkingen, allerhande huis-, tuin- en keukenproducten tot heel technische producten zoals vorkliften of medische scanners. De rode draad bij ecodesign is het levenscyclus-denken. Voor elke fase van de levenscyclus van producten, van het ontginnen van de grondstoffen tot het afdanken van het product, streeft de ontwerper ernaar om de milieu-impact te minimaliseren. Dit boek bespreekt grondig de ecodesignhulpmiddelen die kunnen ingezet worden tijdens het ontwerpproces. Deze hulpmiddelen worden gebruikt om enerzijds bestaande producten te screenen op hun milieu-impact en anderzijds de ontwerper te leiden bij het ontwerpen van milieuverantwoorde producten. Daarnaast komen een aantal actuele trends aan bod, zoals de circulaire economie en biomimicry, die gericht zijn op de transitie naar een duurzame maatschappij en die de ontwerper kunnen inspireren. Dit boek geeft inzicht in het vakgebied ecodesign en moedigt ontwerpers aan om duurzame producten te ontwerpen. De cartoons zijn het werk van Simon De Meulenaer, hij studeerde af in 2015 als Master in de Productontwikkeling aan de Universiteit Antwerpen.

Abstract

"There is a huge scarcity of good, practical resources for designers and students interested in minimizing the environmental impacts of products. Design + Environment has been specifically written to address this paucity. The book first provides background information to help the reader understand how and why design for environment (DfE) has become so critical to design, with reference to some of the most influential writers, designers and companies in the field. Next, Design + Environment provides a step-by-step approach on how to approach DfE: to design a product that meets requirements for quality, cost, manufacturability and consumer appeal, while at the same time minimising environmental impacts. The first step in the process is to undertake an assessment of environmental impacts, using life-cycle assessment (LCA) or one of the many simpler tools available to help the designer. From then on, DfE becomes an integral part of the normal design process, including the development of concepts, design of prototypes, final design and development of marketing strategies. Environmental assessment tools and strategies to reduce environmental impacts, such as the selection of appropriate materials, are then discussed. Next, some of the links between environmental problems, such as global warming, ozone depletion, water and air pollution and the everyday products we consume are considered. In order to design products with minimal environmental impact, we need to have a basic understanding of these impacts and the interactions between them. The four subsequent chapters provide more detailed strategies and case studies for particular product groups: packaging, textiles, furniture, and electrical and electronic products. Guidelines are provided for each of the critical stages of a product's life, from the selection of raw materials through to strategies for recovery and recycling. Finally, Design + Environment takes a look at some of the emerging trends in DfE that are offering us the opportunity to make a more significant reduction in environmental impacts. Both the development of more sustainable materials and technologies and the growing interest in leasing rather than selling products are examined. Design + Environment is organized as a workbook rather than an academic text. It should be read once, and then used as a key reference source. This clear and informative book will prove to be invaluable to practising designers, to course directors and their students in need of a core teaching and reference text and to all those interested in learning about the tools and trends influencing green product design. The authors have all been involved in an innovative demonstration programme called "EcoReDesign", which was developed by the Centre for Design at RMIT University with funding from the Australian government. The Centre successfully collaborated with Australian companies to improve the environmental performance of their products by following DfE principles."--Provided by publisher.
