Rural Design
lecture and book signing, February 4, 6pm, 100 Rapson Hall

 

Rural areas worldwide are undergoing profound change creating considerable challenges and stress for its residents and the ecosystems upon which they depend. Rural Design brings design thinking and the problem-solving process of design to rural issues, recognizing that human and natural systems are inextricably coupled and engaged in continuous cycles of mutual influence and response. In conjunction with Dewey Thorbeck’s recently released book on rural design, his exhibition outlines the theoretical base for rural design and the importance of connecting issues to create synergy and optimal solutions from a global, national, state, region, and local perspective.
