Description
Summary:"This book gathers a series of design research projects produced in 2007, that investigate alternative ways of constructing our relations with our environment. Environment is a nebulous term that often implies nature. It is implied here too, but only in the sense of the nature of complex, dynamic relations. This includes that other called culture, where we are embedded in environment: we as complex sub-entities both distinguishable and inseparable from an encompassing complex, dynamic entity called environment. If green has become another word for environmental or, of the - environment, then we are part of its hue"--Provided by publisher.
Item Description:"This book documents and presents work undertaken in 2007 within 'The Biosaptial Workshop', a research-teaching project run through the School of Architecture and Design at RMIT University."--Prelim.
