This is the personal site of Alex Quinto. My interests are in design, information design, research, social and environmental change. Below are some of the main projects I have worked on. My current interests include the archival of designs for human development, as well as studying design methods and processes for sustainability.
Future scenarios are often developed without designers. If designers are to make a contribution to future planning processes, what methods are suitable for that task?
Towards a sustainable design framework
A sustainable design framework embeds sustainability criteria into the design process of material and strategic outcomes. This framework requires that organizations document their design processes and use assessment tools that measure the organizations social, economic, and environmental impact. The presented framework forms the basis for a future study that will be conducted to determine the barriers and determinants for adopting a sustainable innovation strategy inside organizations.
