Author Description

Sustainable Lens traces the development of sustainability through its representation in diagrams. Sustainable Lens presents a model for seeing the world through a sustainability-driven perspective. Sustainable Lens is laid out in such a way that it can be read from cover-to-cover or opened at a particular page or diagram that draws your interest. The diagrams are featured on the right-hand side so as to celebrate their elegance.Sustainable Lens will act as a source book for those involved in communicating sustainability (including designers, teachers, scientists, policy makers) and others who seek insights about the concept and practice of sustainability.We started with a visualisation challenge. We finish with a bigger challenge. As you go about your life, stop occasionally, put up a frame (thumbs and fingers work well), and ask yourself how much difference you could make by seeing this scene through a Sustainable Lens?
