CATALYZING the Conversation | This issue examines the design of everyday life: our cityscapes, our buildings and educational systems. We explore the consequence of deeply contexted and community-focused design strategies that can enrich and sustain. Design can serve life and that design strategists catalyze the transition from an economy that generates negative consequences for human health and environment to an economy that is truly generative: benign by design.
