On the left of this blog you will see a growing list of links that are associated with Design to Save the World. I would like to explain the Superuse link a little more as it is a great resource for designers and all those interested in recycling.
Superuse is a site where individuals can share ideal, projects and new information in the design world. There are designers, students, architects and various other people interested in re-usable design posting and sharing on this site.
A user can post articles for others to view, vote and comment on. It is a portal for sharing information, which is one of my passions in life. New ideas need to be scene in order to become great ideas in the mind of the public. This site I believe helps push these ideas out there.
Ideas need to be shared in order to be realized. In the growing industry of design, pushing these ideas to the forefront is the key for making a difference. A resource such as this is great for everyone to participate in and get something out of in return.
Please take a look and pass it on!

Environmental Design
The definition of Environmental Design According to Wikipedia.
Environmental design is the process of addressing environmental parameters when devising plans, programs, policies, buildings, or products. Classical prudent design may have always considered environmental factors; however, the environmental movement beginning in the 1960s has made the concept more explicit.
Environmental Design has been defined: "We live in the world by design. Creating the everyday environment in which we live involves complex systems of cultural meaning, visual communication and the use of tools, technology and materials. As a field of study, Environmental Design encompasses the built, natural, and human environments and focuses on fashioning physical and social interventions informed by human behaviour and environmental processes. Design asks us to find answers to the most fundamental of human questions: how should we live in the world and what should inform our actions? This complex endeavor requires an interdisciplinary approach."[citation needed]
Environmental design in the old-fashioned sense develops physical environments, both interior and exterior, to meet one or more aesthetic or day-to-day functional needs, or to create a specific sort of experience - the focus being the human-designed environment. Environmental design includes such specialties as architects, acoustical scientists, engineers, environmental scientists, landscape architects, urban planning, interior designers, lighting designers, and exhibition designers. In many situations, historic preservation can be added to this list. Another recent addition to this general area might be "disability access".
