Intro
Sustainable Design Thinking takes the sustainability factor into account in all process phases. Beyond the problem-focused and solution-oriented work on concrete issues, this applies, also to the composition of teams, their working methods, as well as to the optimisation of the working environment and choice of materials. Sustainable Design Thinking promotes a holistic, integrated approach to identifying and solving the world’s most pressing socio-ecological problems.
