Eco and Positive Design in the XÚI century: a research note

Abstract

Decreasing the ecological footprint is not a fashion trend; it is a personal and collective need and a duty for each person. In order to recognise contributions to fulfil this very special task, this works present a contribution to unravel what links Ecodesign with Positive Design in this research note. It is based on nineteen scientific documents selected from thorough research. It is possible to understand the evolution of both concepts and the possible paths adopted for the Design of today and the future. The theories are synthesised in a table with information gathered from the articles: author, year, the perspective of the analysis of the concepts, or their definition.
