Broken Nature

Many of the strands that connect humans to nature have been intensely compromised, if not entirely severed, over the past two centuries. A new creative approach, "restorative design," highlights  architecture and design projects, objects, and concepts at all scales that reconsider humans' relationship with their environment, and celebrates design’s ability to offer powerful insight into the key issues of our age.
