TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify a newly emerging approach to design as "ecological design" and distinguish this approach from the reductionistic and deterministic approach in Modern environmental design, and claim that ecological design must be distinguished from organic architecture and picturesque landscape architecture on the basis of the social realism and scientific rationale on which ecological design stands.
Abstract: The author identifies a newly-emerging approach to design as “ecological design” and distinguishes this approach from the reductionistic and deterministic approach in Modern environmental design. He articulates the respective philosophical and ethical propositions of the holistic approach, ecological design, and reductionistic approach. He explains why ecological design is a sounder and more useful approach to contemporary design problems than are the belief systems of the Modern movement and recent “Post-Modernism” in architecture. Building upon the ethical, realistic foundation of “ecological planning” in landscape architecture, the author clarifies general implications of the holistic and evolutionary approach to design education and practice, and claims that ecological design must be distinguished from organic architecture and picturesque landscape architecture on the basis of the social realism and scientific rationale on which ecological design stands.
