This open access book introduces design for Sustainable Product-Service Systems (S.PSS) and for Sustainable Distributed Economies (S.DE). These are introduced as technical and operative tools for the development of a new generation of designers, responsible and capable of designing environmentally, socially and economically sustainable solutions, accessible to all.
The book provides a comprehensive framework and also practical tools to support the system design for sustainability process. It overviews methodologies, tools and strategies for Sustainable PSS design applied to Distributed Economies (DE) and provides strategies and design guidelines. All of these are highlighted and expanded upon with international case studies.About the Author: Carlo Vezzoli is Full Professor of Design at the Politecnico di Milano University and within this Institution for 20 years he has been researching and teaching on design for sustainability.

She teaches and writes about sustainable Product-Service System design, design-for-sustainability, open design, co-design, distributed economies and urban activism. Her research focus is on DIY makers who design, make, invent and innovate in shared community technology workshops (fab labs, makerspaces, hacklabs and other niche spaces). Her research is positioned in science & technology studies (STS) foregrounding design and socio-environmental sustainability. She particularly examines makers' techno-utopian imaginaries in enacting a 'new industrial revolution', how makers self-organize and try to localize production, and how activists materially collaborate on sustainability issues at the grassroots. She emphasizes feminist, postcolonial, postcapitalist, socialist and justice-oriented perspectives that re-politicize peer production, maker culture and the sharing economy to reveal how power is held and distributed. She has also been involved in several urban activism initiatives in Helsinki.
