COMMUNICATION MSDS PHASES OBJECTIVES Producing a “catalogue” of promising strategic possibilities, i.e. a sustainability design-orienting sceanario Defining one or more system concept oriented towards sustainability Developing the most promising system concept in a detailed version necessariy to its implementation Producing the documents for the external communication of the solution’s characteristics (general characteristics but above all the sustainability ones) ANALYSIS OF THE PROJECT PROMOTERS ANALYSIS OF THE REFERENCE CONTEXT ANALYSIS OF BEST PRACTICES ANALYSIS OF THE REFERENCE STRUCTURE DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN PRIORITIES IDEAS GENERATION ORIENTED TO SUSTAINABILITY DEVELEPMENT OF THE SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN ORIENTING SCENARIO - VISIONS/CLUSTERS/IDEAS VISIONS, CLUSTERS AND IDEAS SELECTION SYSTEM CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT ENV., SOC. & ECON.
