Van der Ryn, an architect and retired professor of architecture and environmental design at the U. of California, Berkeley, argues for including empathy for humans and the natural world in design, exploring the strengths and weaknesses in architects' approach to the design of communities, regions, and buildings and suggesting ways to create a better world that focuses on the people who use and are affected by the infrastructure, as well as the need to reconnect design to human and natural elements. He focuses on his experiences, discussing the practice of human-centered design during the 1960s, the strengths and weaknesses of design education and the need to integrate hands-on design experiences into a child's education, nature-centered design, the opportunities for moving toward more empathic design, and the need to connect to the self. He was assisted in writing th by Allen, his partner. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
