Alastair Fuad-Luke is a sustainable design consultant, facilitator, educator and writer working in the UK, EU and internationally.
As author of The Eco-design Handbook (2002, 2004), covering pluralistic design solutions from over 30 countries, he sees the key challenges are to balance local with global demands, to combine proprietary with open source knowledge, and to expand design intelligence in thecommercial and social domains.
He was project manager for DEEDS (Design Education &Sustainability), a European funded project, and is a board member of New York based SlowLab. His research interests embrace 'slow design', design to slow metabolisms and offer fresh experiences of well-beingand engagement, ‘co-design’, designing together, and ‘design activism’.
