The Nature of Design, written by David W. Orr, explores the intersection of ecology, culture, and design. Orr argues that our current approach to design is unsustainable and proposes a new framework that integrates ecological principles and human values. This book challenges conventional thinking and offers a vision for a more harmonious relationship between humans and the natural world. It is a thought-provoking read for architects, designers, and anyone interested in creating a sustainable future.
