Designers understand the urgency of reducing humanity’s negative environmental impact, yet responding to climate change by building hard infrastructures and favoring high-tech homogenous design, we are ignoring millennia-old knowledge of how to live in symbiosis with nature. Without implementing soft systems that use biodiversity as a building block, designs probably remain inherently unsustainable. Enter Lo—TEK, a design movement building on indigenous philosophy and vernacular infrastructure to generate sustainable, resilient, nature-based technology. With a foreword by anthropologist Wade Davis and spanning 20 countries from Peru to Iran, this book explores millennia-old human ingenuity on how to live in symbiosis with nature.
