I have a vision for the future that is optimistic, creative, beautiful and prosperous. The core tenets of this vision begin with what I call Blue Design.
Blue Design is a comparatively young sustainability philosophy with its roots in architecture and passive design. Blue Design focuses on evolving the relationship of nature and technology toward synthesis or a mutually beneficial arrangement. It proposes that this large view depends on the smallest scale: each of our personal relationships with nature and our empowerment to think widely and non-traditionally.
On this page you will find the earlier versions one and two of Blue Design, and the seminal Blue Design essays. The real work of developing the philosophy, and descriptions of its current form are on the Building Bridges tab. If you want the shortest version of what it is today, watch the video: Blue Design’s structure.
Blue Design is continually evolving. Are you interested in helping to take Blue Design thinking to the next level? If so, I’d love to hear from you.
