The Power of Design

As humans, we are now faced with a challenge like no other in our existence. We have evolved and grown in such a way that has created a great amount of distance between man and nature. From the Agricultural Revolution to the Industrial Revolutions we have been separating ourselves from the very essence where we began. This gradual change had been at a constant speed for millions of years; however, with new technologies and careless man made materials this change is occurring at an exponentially faster rate[1].  We are now moving and growing at a speed that is leading us towards a dead end. What was once thought as “good” is now harming and creating imbalance between the human species and the natural environment meant to sustain us[2]
