| ABSTRCT | Ecological design adequate to help resolve current social-environmental problems will have
to engage organisms, ecosystems, and cities as far-from-equilibrium, open, self-organizing
systems. Because these systems are inherently dynamic, with elements co-constituting one
another, the goal of ecological design should not be a specific condition or end state. Rather,
the entire network of processes, especially the positive feedback loops from which a given
system’s self-organizing capacity emerges, needs to be maintained. Thus, the task of fully
ecological design is to avoid interrupting or impairing a system’s ability to maintain or
transform itself; or, as is increasingly necessary, enhancing or helping restore damaged
ecosystem dynamics. Thankfully, landscape architecture and allied design disciplines and
practices are developing greater capacity to facilitate dynamic adaptive processes—
substantially contributing to a transition from a first to a second phase of ecological design
that operationalizes the new paradigm of complexity theory. In order to continue the
transformation we need to make explicit and integrate the fundamental dimensions of this
shift and the implications for design. To present a clear description and analysis that also
emphasizes the actual physical changes that make an ecological difference the essay uses
examples concerning hydrologic flow regime and flooding. |
