ABSTRACT
David Benjamin: Design is an ecosystem. It involves interconnected loops of ideas, materials, technologies, culture, humans, non-humans, construction, growth, buildings, cities, and environment. No loop is passive. No loop stands alone. All of the loops inuence other loops. And each loop makes sense only through its links to the others. In this way, each design project is a composition of forces and inuences that work together to produce a new hypothesis about the material and living world.
