On November 10th 2009, the Architecture Museum of Ljubljana and the Pekinpah
Association have released Sustainable alternatives in design: It's high time we start losing time, a book of lectures in design theory edited by Barbara Predan and Cvetka Pozar.
Since the UN climate summit in Copenhagen has failed to provide an effective
mechanism for curbing global warming, we are back searching for alternatives.
We believe that design can and should offer alternatives in solving problems
that stretch - as Walter Gropius has put it - from the spoon to the city. The
book of lectures entitled Sustainable alternatives in design: It's high time we start losing time offers heterogeneous and plausible alternatives which can help us to redefine
the way we understand the role of design and its core idea - the notion that
design is, in essence, a problem solving discipline.
