Design in the Anthropocene puts people first, transforming the different factors and terminologies involved into one, common parameter: spaceThe result is an easy-to-use tool designed for readers with varying levels of expertise, from urban designers and architects, to engineers, activists, and anyone interested in sustainable design. This treasure-trove gives young graduates and early-career professionals introductions to each field, offers experienced specialists practical insights from case studies, and opens the black boxes behind the rules of thumb. In short, whether you’re new to the field or a professional looking to explore different aspects of sustainable design, you’ll find this book a pleasure to read and a valuable tool to have at hand.
