Design and sustainability have long been reviewed and explored by designers, creators and policy makers. Despite the acknowledgement of the importance and need for sustainable design, little is known regarding the process that leads to one. It is important to recognise that sustainability is a system property and thus a systems perspective (including both micro and macro level changes) is necessary to fully appreciate and guide sustainable and innovative designs. SYSTEMATEKS (SIMS) is a forward thinking design concept/process that can inform sustainable and regenerative designs. The present paper demonstrates an application of SIMS (Scalable, Interactive, Modular (able) systems) for designing a digital interface that allows for visualizing key infrastructure information (i.e. Information regarding municipality and key economic factors associated with it). The findings demonstrate a successful application of SIMS process to guide and inform a truly flexible and resilience digital interface that is modular and scalable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
