The Green Imperative: Ecology and Ethics in Design and Architecture by Victor Papanek

5.0

An important read on the role of design in our remaking of the world and the ethics of designing for ecological impact. This work helped introduce concepts like “design for disassembly” that have heavily influenced product design and led to the development of IKEA type production. He would likely be horrified at how his more radical ideas of designing for sustainability and our ethical obligation to do so have been interpreted as design for disposability instead.
