Abstract

      The evolution of sustainability design has seen a transition from its traditional focus solely on product design to a broader consideration of systemic innovations and transitions. This abstract delves into this evolutionary progression, examining how the field has moved beyond individual product interventions to embrace holistic strategies that tackle interconnected social, environmental, and economic issues. By employing a multidisciplinary lens, it explores the fundamental drivers, principles, and methodologies driving this shift. Through a retrospective analysis spanning historical milestones and contemporary trends, it elucidates the emerging pathways toward sustainable design practices. Central to this evolution is the acknowledgment of design's role as a catalyst for transformative change, capable of reshaping entire systems and fostering resilience amidst global sustainability challenges. By integrating principles of circularity, regenerative design, and inclusive engagement, designers are positioned to drive systemic shifts toward more sustainable and equitable futures. This abstract not only consolidates current knowledge but also outlines future research and practice directions, emphasizing the importance of collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches in addressing complex sustainability issues at the systemic level.
