Design, Ecology, Politics: Towards the Ecocene by Joanna Boehnert
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 10.8 MB
Overview: Design, Ecology, Politics links social and ecological theory to design theory and practice, critiquing the ways in which the design industry perpetuates unsustainable development.
Boehnert argues that when design does engage with issues of sustainability, this engagement remains shallow, due to the narrow basis of analysis in design education and theory. The situation is made more severe by design cultures which claim to be apolitical. Where design education fails to recognise the historical roots of unsustainable practice, it reproduces old errors. New ecologically informed design methods and tools hold promise only when incorporated into a larger project of political change.
Design, Ecology, Politics describes how ecological literacy challenges many central assumptions in design theory and practice.
