via Instagram ift.tt/1VjipBM — True sustainability requires new ways of thinking. So, shouldn't it carry with it new styles/new aesthetics? In looking to artists and designers from previous movements, innovators we’ve historically documented are known for novel visuals, but got to those novel visuals by exploring new ideologic territory and experimenting with different ways of thinking. Avant garde visuals stemming from these movements were the result of the ideas (or ideals) to come out of their novel thinking, not really the main ideas themselves. Our past is not about style for style’s sake, but style that illuminates a theoretical position (or at least style that is arrived at from a thought process, from a set of values, or from some set of hypotheses). #designyourthoughts #sustainabilitist #graphicdesign #sustainability
via Instagram ift.tt/1JuOHCY — What makes for a sustainable aesthetic anyway? This is the rub. Part of sustainability would be how it allows for flexibility, future friendliness, adaptation, evolution, etc. A defined style or aesthetic might be at odds with this -- or might it define a realm that forms can happen within? Form must evolve from the other constraints applied -- use less energy, use less material, be cyclical in required systems, etc. Is there a universal aesthetic then? Or are there infinite aesthetics as long as other guidelines or concerns are followed? #sustainable#sustainability#graphicdesign#sustainabilitist#designyourthoughts#opensans
