The Life-centred Design Guide (Life-centred Design Guides)

Life-centred design expands human-centred design to consider all peoples, animals, and planet. It aligns designers and businesses with global goals to design physical and digital products and services that re-nourish the planet and foster fair and diverse ways of being.
However, life-centred design is still forming, and awareness of it is low, those who practise it are few, and how it is practised varies. Yet all these approaches share a common mindset—to eschew profit-only focused endeavours with ones that aim to give back more than they take.
The Life-Centred Design Guide introduces a collection of these approaches and speculates a ‘Future Snapshot’ framework to examine what the practice might become if the variations merge.
Accompanied by the Life-centred Design Resource Hub at futurescouting.com.au/lcd, The Life-centred Design Guide includes learning exercises, tools, strategies, and introductions to 11 key supporting practices: Circular design Inclusive design Pluriversal design Systems thinking Distributed design Sustainable digitial design Behavioural design Interspecies design Biomimicry Foresight Human-centred design
As life-centred design takes shape, it offers designers the skills and mindsets to respond to today's wicked problems in tangible, practical, and measurable ways.
