A beautifully written and illustrated framework for resilient design
that is as pragmatic as it is inspiring, showing us not only how but
why we should design differently. Design for Resilience is a timely,
visionary map for creating restorative design that addresses
humanity’s most critical issue: climate change. Our current
wealth-oriented economic systems have resulted in gross disparities,
war, refugee crises, and mass migrations that augur a bleak collective
future. In this book, respected scholar Stuart Walker combines
formidable research with practical examples to offer a hopeful,
original, and transformative view of what resilient design looks like
and how it can apply to all aspects of life, from personal objects to
food to culture to business to recreation. Working at the intersection
of theory, philosophy, history, environmentalism, and justice, Walker
offers a fresh approach that decolonizes design thinking to
fundamentally change the nature of design practice and how it shapes
our lives, communities, and industries. Asking nothing short of the
fundamental question “How should we live?,” Design for Resilience
addresses the high-priority issues that concern governments,
policymakers, designers, and people around the world who recognize
that now, perhaps more than at any other time in human history, we
need paradigmatic changes to create a future that lasts.
