Abstract

Around the planet, numerous research initiatives are taking place to mitigate the effects of climate change. These activities-emerging from diverse research projects from basic and applied science-often suffer from lack of an overall design strategy that would allow capitalising on cross-specialised knowledge by having an integrative, holistic and synergistic approach to innovation design and implementation. This chapter discusses a particular research project and describes how a design methodology could help to address issues such as equality, empowerment, autonomy, creativity, performance and cycle times and provide for the necessary balance between control, speed and flexibility.
