Hypothesis follow up

Slow Design

Process
The process of slow design is comprehensive, holistic, inclusive, reflective and considered. It permits evolution and development of the design outcomes. It belongs to the professional and public arenas and emphasises the importance of democratising the design process by embracing a wide range of stakeholders.


Outcomes
slow design is manifest in any object, space or image that encourages
a reduction in human, economic, industrial and urban resource flow metabolisms by:

• designing for space to think, react, dream, and muse
• designing for people first, commercialisation second
• designing for local first, global second
• designing for socio-cultural benefits and well-being
• designing for regenerative environmental benefits and well-being
• democratising design by encouraging self-initiated design
• catalysing behavioural change and socio-cultural transformation
• creating new economic and business models and opportunities
