Design for an Empathic
World: Reconnecting People, Nature, & Self. Sim Van der Ryn - Part 2
This part 2 had a lot of video and audio problems that come and go and ends abruptly. "Despite an uncertain economy, the market for green building is exploding. The US green building market has expanded dramatically since 2008 and is projected to double in size by 2015 (from $42 billion in construction starts to $135 billion). But green-building pioneer Sim Van der Ryn says, "greening" our buildings is not enough. He advocates for "empathic design", in which a designer not only works in concert with nature, but with an understanding of and empathy for the end user and for ones self. It is not just one of these connections, but all three that are necessary to design for a future that is more humane, equitable, and resilient."
Design for an Empathic World: Reconnecting People, Nature, and Self - Berkeley.Edu"In a new book release by Sim Van der Ryn, Design for an Empathic World: Reconnecting People, Nature, and Self (Island Press), the green-building pioneer draws on a half-century of experience in the architectural world and shares his thoughts and experiences about the nature of design today. Van der Ryn advocates for a movement towards "empathic design," in which a designer not only works in concert with nature, but with an understanding of and empathy for the end user and for ones self. He stresses the need for all three connections in order to design for a more human, equitable, and resilient future."
