Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we readily dispose of some things, whereas we keep and maintain others for years, despite their obvious wear and tear? Can a greater understanding of aesthetic value lead to a more strategic and sustainable approach to product design? Aesthetic Sustainability: Product Design and Sustainable Usage offers guidelines for ways to reduce, rethink, and reform consumption. Its focus on aesthetics adds a new dimension to the creation, as well as the consumption, of sustainable products. The chapters offer innovative ways of working with expressional durability in the design process. Aesthetic Sustainability: Product Design and Sustainable Usage is related to emotional durability in the sense that the focus is on the psychological and sensuous bond between subject and object. But the subject–object connection is based on more than emotions: aesthetically sustainable objects continuously add nourishment to human life. This book explores the difference between sentimental value and aesthetic value, and it offers suggestions for operational approaches that can be implemented in the design process to increase aesthetic sustainability. This book also offers a thorough presentation of aesthetics, focusing on the correlation between the philosophical approach to the aesthetic experience and the durable design experience. The book is of interest to students and scholars working in the fields of design, arts, the humanities and social sciences; additionally, it will speak to designers and other professionals with an interest in sustainability and aesthetic value.

Book excerpt: Does going green change the face of design or only its content? The first book to outline principles for the aesthetics of sustainable design, The Shape of Green argues that beauty is inherent to sustainability, for how things look and feel is as important as how they’re made. In addition to examining what makes something attractive or emotionally pleasing, Hosey connects these questions with practical design challenges. Can the shape of a car make it more aerodynamic and more attractive at the same time? Could buildings be constructed of porous materials that simultaneously clean the air and soothe the skin? Can cities become verdant, productive landscapes instead of wastelands of concrete? Drawing from a wealth of scientific research, Hosey demonstrates that form and image can enhance conservation, comfort, and community at every scale of design, from products to buildings to cities. Fully embracing the principles of ecology could revolutionize every aspect of design, in substance and in style. Aesthetic attraction isn’t a superficial concern — it’s an environmental imperative. Beauty could save the planet.

Download or read book Chinese Environmental Aesthetics written by Gerald Cipriani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is currently afflicted by enormous environmental problems. This book, drawing on ancient and modern Chinese environmental thinking, considers what it is that makes an environment a desirable place for living. The book emphasises ideas of beauty, and discusses how these ideas can be applied in natural, agricultural and urban environments in order to produce desirable environments. The book argues that environment is both a product of nature and of human beings, and as such is potentially alterable by culture. The book explores the three aspects of environmental beauty whereby such alteration might be beneficially made: integrated and holistic; ecological and man-made; and authentic and everyday. This book addresses environmental issues by distinctively suggesting that an aesthetic approach inspired from ancient Chinese tradition could help us overcome the many problems that human beings have created at local and global levels. Although its main focus is the traditional and current contexts of the People’s Republic of China, the book transcends national borders. A typical example is the ancient Chinese thought system and cultural practice of Feng Shui (風水) that sought to negotiate how the natural environment and human constructions can cohabit without destructing each other. The author evokes that sought-after harmony through the powerful image of gardens of life whose environmental beauty can be found in traditional Chinese gardens and palaces as well as historically and culturally preserved cities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Replete with full-colour photographs, this reference work is as aesthetically cultivated as the architecture it promotes * Addresses the complex issue of sustainability through a multitude of lenses, including social, environmental, economic, and aesthetic Sustainability may well determine the future of the human race. However, despite its importance, it often lacks one essential quality for success: seduction. An anthropic place must, as the name suggests, appeal to people. Sustainability has to find its own unique power of seduction if it is to compete with the established charms of the unsustainable city. A capitalistic city revolves around superficial allure. As such, beauty in the urban environment has come, somewhat paradoxically, to be associated with excess and exuberance, surplus production, conspicuous consumption, and waste. The research presented in this book encourages discourse on the importance of aesthetics; an exciting foray into the well-visited topic of sustainable production, viewed through a new lens. Ilaria Di Carlo is an architect, writer and researcher. After graduating with Honors at the Polytechnic of Milan in 2000, she obtained a Master's Degree in Landscape Urbanism at the Architectural Association in London. She has worked for different international offices and was Associate at Skidmore Owings and Merrill, London. 400 colour
