Description
The Green Imperative: Ecology and Ethics in Design and Architecture
A pioneering work on sustainable design, this book examines the role of design in combating climate change. Victor Papanek argues for design that addresses environmental issues head-on, using materials that can be recycled and reused, reducing packaging, and prioritizing nature at its core.
First published over two decades ago, The Green Imperative remains a timely and thought-provoking guide to creating more sustainable designs. Its clear examples and critiques offer honest advice for the design world, making it a valuable resource for both historical context and practical solutions.
