The Shape of Green:
Aesthetics, Ecology, and Design
Great design is a marriage of art and science, but so far green design has focused on science and neglected art. When photovoltaics, wind turbines, and fuel cells overshadow basic decisions about shape and form, green tech becomes a green crutch. Do ethics support or supersede aesthetics? Does going green change the face of design or only its content? Can we be as smart about how things look as how they are made? Form, image, and experience can enhance conservation, comfort, and community at every scale of design, from products to buildings to cities. Fully embracing the principles of ecology could spark a revolution that could change every aspect of design.
