LIFE CYCLE DESIGN AND SYSTEM THINKING

摘要

Devising a Life Cycle Design involves a number of systemic variables, interacting over time, within a basestructure and flows that by defining the relevant environment mimics the logic of Systems Thinking. Thepossibility to adapt systemic archetypes from Systems Thinking to Life Cycle Design methodology forms acultural background that enables the forecast of eventual systemic behaviour linked to the key variablesinteracting over a predefined time-span. This paper illustrates the potential compatibility and applications ofsystemic archetypes from “Systems thinking” to the drafting of an Life Cycle Design.
