Design, Ecology, and Ethics

Design, ecology, and ethics "To make people easier, we need design agencies (cars, houses, toothbrushes, etc.)" (Jim Farrell) Now that someone in the United States benefits the planet and future generations If you benefit from it, it is very difficult. It is expensive to buy local organic food. In the suburbs, if not impossible, I go to work and practice, shop and go home without a car. It is shameful to think about where and where nearly 100% of the target products are made.

"Ecodesign is a big concept that links science and practical arts with ethics, politics, economics." For him, how ecodesign will be long-term in certain ecological, social and cultural environments It is not about. "The ingenuity of inviting us to imagine what the challenge to creativity and what John Todt calls" an elegant solution foreseen by the identity of the place "is the creation of an environmentally sensitive building It is far beyond. Try cooperating with local communities around the world to promote transition to transition. Sustainable human civilization This is a big challenge of unprecedented scale and importance in the history of our species.

If we question the fundamental assumptions, attitudes and values ​​that support specific designs, we will enter the realm of morality. Protectionist Alopol Leopold (1966) first proposed an ecological and ethical call to guide human behavior in modern Western culture; in the 1960s Ian McHarg was the first to establish ecological ethics in design Proposed. Call (McHarg, see 1963). Mcuague strives to make people recognize to people that "human attitude towards the environment that penetrates the Western tradition is an illusion, it is irrelevant to reality, there is no survival value, and the best guarantee of extinction" (McHarg, 1970). This belief encouraged him to promote a design approach based on co-evolution of human and natural processes he proposed in his pioneering work "Natural Design" (McHarg, 1969).

In the philosophical foundation of the natural design movement, ecology, ethics, aesthetics are explored as closely related problems. Biological and ecological design, bionics, bionics and bionics were introduced as natural learning approaches to design. This chapter describes the challenge of co-designing complex dynamic systems as active participants. Self-producing, symbiotic, synergistic, scale link design can lead this responsible collaborative design in the natural process.
