Abstract

Serious doubts arise as to the role of design in the excessive consumption and its environmental consequences. Is design an accomplice to it? Does it promote it? Does it have a moderator role? Does it get involved in the situation or does it ignore it? If design is a cultural practice, how does it justify its decisions and how does it deal with the consequences of its professional activity? Doing research to design involves a source contribution to think about a sustainable design.
