The design community is invited to co-create for the collective good with the debut of The Living Principles for Design website, the online home for the sustainability framework created in October 2009. The new portal is intended to give the creative community a place to share and showcase best practices, tools, stories and ideas for enabling sustainable action, popularizing the efforts of those who use design thinking to affect positive cultural change.
Originally conceived through AIGA—the professional association for design—The Living Principles framework aims to clarify the multiple, interrelated dimensions of sustainability and guide purposeful action in everyday design and business practice. Drawing from decades of collective wisdom, theory and results, the framework weaves environmental, social, economic and cultural sustainability into an actionable, integrated approach that can be consistently communicated to designers, business leaders, educators and the public.
The effort—and in turn the website—depends on the creative contributions of every discipline to grow and flourish. “The Living Principles community site is a unique forum where leading design organizations and curious individuals are coming together to move the sustainability conversation forward across disciplines and around the world,” says site creator Gaby Brink, founder and executive creative director of Tomorrow Partners, a strategic design agency. “Our aim is to celebrate the efforts of all our partners.”
