10 up Openspace Workshop

We ran a session on the 13th October 2001, which was attended by about 80 people.x

The goal was to come up with some ideas on how to make ecodesign the mainstream way of designing in the next ten years.

We had 28 different discussions. We captured the results of each session as a report sheet, and these sheets are presented here below as they were written:
