Despite the growing demand for design strategies to reduce our
petroleum use, no one has yet brought together the lessons of the
world's leading post-petroleum designers into a single resource.
Post-Petroleum Design brings them together for the first time.
Readers will be introduced to the most current, innovative,
plastic-and petroleum-free products and projects in industrial
design, architecture, transportation, electronics, apparel and
more. Post-Petroleum Design explores firsthand the client and
consumer motivations behind the demand, and shares the case
studies, principles, best practices, risks and opportunities of the
world's leading post-petroleum design experts who are already
meeting that demand. It introduces 40 inspiring individuals from
across the globe; people like Eben Bayer, the American innovator
whose company, Ecovative, is growing houses from mushrooms;
Mohammed Bah Abba, whose Zeer Pot is helping families keep produce
fresh in the sweltering Nigerian summer without electricity; and
the engineers at Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studios whose Biome
car evolves from genetically engineered DNA. Post-Petroleum Design
gives design professionals the information they need to research,
evaluate, and select materials, technologies and design strategies
that meet the growing demand for sustainable design, plastic-free
materials and process energy conservation. Designer profiles,
studies, statistics and many colour illustrations all highlight the
work-some of the best design work to be found anywhere, and
showcased here for the first time.
