The Nature of Design: Ecology, Culture and Human Intention by David Orr Note:- This will be held in the FISH CREEK Library 11161 Bonaventure Drive SE. Next month is back Downtown. |
13 April, 2011 |
| The environmental movement has often been accused of being overly negative--trying to stop "progress." The Nature of Design, on the other hand, is about starting things, specifically an ecological design revolution that changes how we provide food, shelter, energy, materials, and livelihood, and how we deal with waste. Ecological design is an emerging field that aims to recalibrate what humans do in the world according to how the world works as a biophysical system. Design in this sense is a large concept having to do as much with politics and ethics as with buildings and technology. The Nature of Design combines theory, practicality, and a call to action. | ||
