Design is always a negotiation between the private and the public. In that space of opposition between the individual and society, creative inquiry-and design is that, too-offers an antidote to business-as-usual, to stasis. And design always moves, transforms, and remakes the world, at all scales, continuously. Until we become part of the humus under our feet there is no escape from the environmental envelope that surrounds us or even the interior space of our bodies that is increasingly transformed by designed bio-objects. The book consists of a collection of designs completed by polytekton between 1978 and 1989 in Europe and in the United States. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white images.
