Description:	Positive Design and Appreciative Construction: From Sustainable Development to Sustainable Value draws on the power of Appreciative Inquiry to reframe our conceptions and approaches to designing and reinforcing systems and environments that promote sustainable value across the board. Rarely in recent history have there been times when one can say that a new consciousness about a global issue has suddenly surfaced. The quest for sustainability is one in that category. It is at the top of social and political agenda for most countries. The scientific evidence of the need for a radical shift in preserving the planet for future generations has been accumulated for a long time, despite the occasional challenges of its validity by diehards who believe otherwise. Yet only recently has the awareness of sustainability shot up to the level of a common ground and a collective political will across diverse ideologies and at a global level.
