Design Thinking for a Greener Tomorrow - Sustainable Vision examines how design thinking can be applied as a practical framework for sustainability across contemporary design disciplines. Rather than treating sustainability as a trend or stylistic layer, the book positions it as a core design responsibility - one that influences materials, systems, decision-making, and long-term impact.Design shapes how we live, build, consume, and interact. From architecture and product development to fashion and visual communication, every design choice carries environmental and social consequences. In a time defined by climate change, resource scarcity, and systemic complexity, designers are required to think beyond aesthetics and short-term solutions.This book connects creativity with responsibility.It explores how structured creativity, systems thinking, and user-centered design can lead to more regenerative, ethical, and resilient outcomes. Drawing on examples from architecture, product design, fashion, interior design, and graphic design, Sustainable Vision illustrates how designers and innovators are rethinking processes, materials, and values to align design practice with sustainability goals.Inside the book, readers will explore: - Design thinking as a framework for sustainable innovation - Systems thinking and long-term design impact - Sustainable principles applied across multiple design fields - Creative processes that support ethical and environmentally conscious decision- making - Practical challenges and future directions of sustainable designMore than a technical manual, Sustainable Vision offers a reflective and structured perspective on the evolving role of design in the 21st century. It is written for designers, students, educators, entrepreneurs, and sustainability-focused readers who seek a deeper understanding of how design can contribute meaningfully to environmental responsibility and social well-being.
