Eco Design: A Holistic View of Sustainability
Good design can do much more than just present an aesthetic. At least that’s what the organizers of South Africa’s Eco Design Initiative endeavoured to prove.

The organizers see sustainability as being about “social, environmental, and economic well being.” I like their inclusive understanding of sustainable design—that it can be a tool to solve everyday problems.
