Design Sistêmico: projetar a sustentabilidade produtiva e ambiental

Abstract

This critical review analyzes the work Systemic Design: designing productive and environmental sustainability by Luigi Bistagnino (2016), which proposes a break from the dominant linear thinking in industrial manufacturing processes. The author establishes a new paradigm based on the interdependence between natural and artificial systems, advocating co-production and circular economy as strategies for sustainability. The review evaluates the theoretical consistency of the work, the applicability of the proposed concepts, and the limitations regarding practical implementation in complex socioeconomic contexts. It concludes that Bistagnino’s contribution is relevant to the fields of design and engineering, but demands critical adaptations to be effective in different productive realities.
