Reviews

""This is an agenda-setting book that explores the many ways in which design labor is contributing to struggles for realizing post-carbon futures. … Designing Through Planetary Breakdown makes a major contribution to emerging discussion between design studies and design practice, the critical social sciences and environmental and climate studies."" Professor Damian White, Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) ""Designing through Planetary Breakdown is part of wave of literature on expanded design practice, not just theory, for transitions by design. This honest and practical book presents a series of design responses to planetary breakdown. With case studies of design for care, repair, and resilience, the text presents the problems and possibilities that emerge at the margins as design develops new approaches for adaptation."" Dr Joanna Boehnert, Bath Spa University, author of Design, Ecology, Politics
