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, Ecology, Politics links social and ecological theory to design theory and practice, critiquing the ways in which the design industry... |
