Let's look at the relationship between design and ecology. Which of the components of this phrase — "design and ecology" — affects the other? We can talk about design that solves environmental problems. We can also talk about ecology as a general theme that defines the design process. Let us focus on these two ways of interaction.
The first one can be explained very simply. Design solves the problems of environmental science. It is no different from the design of anything in any other field. There is the difference that the customer is science and the people who represent it. The purpose of design is in the field of ecology.
The second type of relationship between design and ecology is ecology domination. It dictates both the principles of design tools choice and the vector of global goals. Ecological design (which has fundamentally different from design in the interests of ecology) "works" at all stages of its creation.
The production in design is often more important than the result. For example, the process of ecological design must necessarily involve the minimum possible amount of resources, use environmentally friendly materials, minimize the environmental damage caused in the production process.
The purpose of ecological design is to demonstrate the way of human existence in harmony with the environment. In this area, design goes beyond one or more local tasks. It is a way to put technologies on new level.
Thus, Lea Poisson, who is one of the pioneers of ecological design, at the beginning of his career was engaged in the development of brand names, and in the middle and further — designed devices for life. And they were powered by solar energy.
The example of Lea is suitable to demonstrate the difference between design in the interests of ecology and ecodesign. Design for the environment can exist at the level of logo design, and ecodesign is closer to rethinking the design process.
