Green Design: Designing Relationships to Nature (RV-10206)
Start Date
09/15/2016
End Date
09/14/2018
Description
This interactive online course expands on the theoretical views of Integral Sustainable Design introduced from the introductory course by exploring more deeply into the PERSPECTIVE OF CULTURES. This is a theoretical and conceptual exploration of practical design ideas, metaphors, and portable strategies, not a technical course on Sustainable Design. One is required to first complete the Introduction to Integral Sustainable Design Theory course before beginning this course. The primary investigation is: "How do I design to place people into rich and significant relationships with nature?" We will explore different ideas of what people think Nature is and the concomitant principles of designing relationships to Nature. Each primary view gives rise to a variety of metaphors in language that describes our understanding of Nature.
