How can design be used to challenge the status quo, to interrupt the jargon, to disrupt and redirect ecological and socio-economic flows?

What does this mean? It means injecting something different into a given context to effect new meanings and new func...

In the middle of the electromagnetic spectrum between the binary extremes of black and white it's not gray, as you might expect, but green. And within green's bandwidth there are more tonal variations than any other color can make. Maybe this is why--envy, naivete, and money aside--green is generally synonymous with good.

This issue of LA+ is devoted to critically exploring the nexus between place and identity with contributions from disciplines as varied as landscape architecture, architecture, philosophy, literature, ethics, ...
