Ecological Design
The book presents ecological design, aimed at regeneration, as one of the political choices designers face, contrasted with human-centered design that optimizes consumption.
Raised as one of the political choices designers face: "And these political choices permeate our professional lives on every level. Which sub-discipline do we pursue? Commercial branding or community-led social innovation? Human-centered design that optimizes consumption, or ecological design aiming for regeneration?"
