Description
Designing for Interdependence: A Poetics of Relating by Martín Ávila explores an ecocentric approach to design that prioritises harmony between all life forms. This book challenges traditional design paradigms and proposes a 'poetics of relating' that encompasses humans, artificial things, and other-than-human species in a shared practice. Ávila develops the concept of alter-natives, which exposes the potential of artificial things to participate in sustaining natural environments. The book features real-life project case studies that illustrate the political-ecological implications of an ecocentric paradigm, offering insights into alternative modes of relating to local environments and inter-species cohabitation. By avoiding dualistic thinking and promoting constructive design practices, Ávila pursues a vision for more-than-human ecologies. This thought-provoking book provides methods and case studies to support rewilding and maintaining cultural and biological diversity, stabilizing planetary dynamics in the process.
