Crul, M.R.M. Brezet, J.C. Faculty Industrial Design Engineering Department Design Engineering Date 2012-12-31 Abstract This paper discusses need and relevance of new local-global collaborations for sustainable design. Future Living Studio is a case study that explores how to enable cross-cultural collaboration in Vietnam towards addressing sustainable design and production issues. This paper presents the first empirical results of a diary study supplemented by observations to examine the strengths and opportunities relative design and cultural positionalities bring to cross-cultural teams. A facilitated approach focused on supporting positive team dynamics is proposed as a way to improve knowledge exchange by explicitly building in mechanisms to promote equality, mutual learning, respect, inclusivity and reflexivity so that process and result can be negotiated, inclusive and emergent.
