A New Design Philosophy: An Introduction to Defuturing Sydney: UNSW Press, Tony Fry 1999.
A
theoretical and historical analysis of the making of unsustainability that
employs ‘defuturing’ as a deconstructive method to expose
foundational flaws in worlds so familiar to us. All of this is presented as
necessary learning and unlearning in order to design and make in ways that
are significantly, rather than superficially, more sustainable.
