Slide 33 text
Sustainable design decisions are decisions that
consider the sociotechnical impact of the alternatives.
After designing and analysing the alternatives, you
pick the one that gives you the best sociotechnical
trade-
off with the information that is available. You
create a feedback loop into your design process to
improve it along the way.
Over time, you will find yourself making decisions in a
similar way. This is when your decisions become
sustainable.
