Description

If what we need now is a better world—functioning schools, working infrastructure, thriving cities—why not design one? Thomas Fisher shows how the principles of design apply to services and systems that seem to evolve naturally, systems whose failures sometimes seem as arbitrary and inevitable as the weather. Designing Our Way to a Better World reveals the power of design to open up better futures than the unsustainable and inequitable one we now face.

Author Biography:

Thomas Fisher is the former dean of the College of Design and the new director of the Metropolitan Design Center at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of Designing to Avoid Disaster: The Nature of Fracture-Critical Design. His books The Invisible Element of Place: The Architecture of David Salmela, In the Scheme of Things: Alternative Thinking on the Practice of Architecture, and Salmela Architect are also published by the University of Minnesota Press.
