The Life-centred Design Guide

5,Life-centred design aligns responsible businesses and designers with global goals to design physical and digital products and services that re-nourish the planet and foster fair and diverse ways of being.Life-centred design is still emerging, however, so awareness of it is low, those who practise it are few, how it is practised varies, and hybridisation of physical and digital product design strategies is nascent.The Life-Centred Design Guide introduces a collection of today's life-centred design approaches and speculates a 'Future Snapshot' of what the framework might become if the variations merged.The Guide also includes introductions to 11 key design practices that combine in life-centred design: Circular designInclusive designPluriversal designSystems thinkingDistributed designSustainable digital designBehavioural designInterspecies designBiomimicryForesightHuman-centred designAccompanied by the online toolkit at lifecentred.design, readers can expand their experience by accessing learning exercises, tools, strategies, and resources.Life-centred design gives designers the skills and mindsets to respond to today's wicked problems in tangible, practical, and measurable ways.
