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.
