Organised as a dialogue between nature and design, this book
explores design ideas, opportunities, visions and practices through
relating and uncovering experience of the natural world. Presented
as an edited collection of 25 wide-ranging short chapters, the book
explores the possibility of new relations between design and
nature, beyond human mastery and understandings of nature as
resource and by calling into question the longstanding role for
design as agent of capitalism. The book puts forward ways in which
design can form partnerships with living species and examines
designers' capacities for direct experience, awe, integrated
relationships and new ways of knowing. It covers: * New design
ethics of care * Indigenous perspectives * Prototyping with nature
* Methods for new design and nature relations * A history of design
and nature * Animist beliefs * De-centering human-centered design *
Understanding nature has power and agency Design and Nature: A
Partnership is a rich resource for designers who wish to learn to
engage with sustainability from the ground up.
