Vincent Beaubois et al., « Eco-design or the challenge of the ecological “invisible” », Sciences du Design, ID : 10670/1.a03d1d...
Eco-design is often defined as a methodological practice that consists in assessing the environmental impacts of a product or a service based on a systemic analysis with regard to the life cycle approach in order to redesign it. Beyond this operational aspect and the criticisms that can be made of this approach, we want to show that this practice also engages a real metaphysics of our relationship to the world through design. In the times of the Anthropocene, it seeks to make perceptible the “invisible,” which gives substance to the things that form our lived world.
