Alastair Fuad-Luke is a sustainable design facilitator, lecturer, writer and maker working in the UK, SE Asia and Oceania.

As author of The Eco-design Handbook (2002, 2005), covering pluralistic design solutions from over 30 countries, he sees the key challenges are to balance local with global demands, to combine proprietary with open source knowledge and to expand design intelligence in the commercial and social domains.

He is a board member of New York based SlowLab, and is chair of Tempo, a not-for-profit sustainable design network initiated with some of his former students. His research interests embrace 'slow design', design to slow metabolisms and offer fresh experiences of well-being and engagement.
