1.4.4 Sustainable development: Green Design
Green design, ‘eco-design’ and ‘design for environment’ all refer to the incorporation of the
principles of economic, social and ecological sustainability into designing physical objects.
Green design covers as small objects as those daily necessities, and as large objects as
buildings, cities and the earth’s physical surface. In the architecture sector, green design is
already an irreversible trend, no matter whether it is landscape architecture, engineering,
graphic design, industrial design, interior design or fashion design.
