A design review is a milestone within a product development process whereby a design is evaluated against its requirements in order to verify the outcomes of previous activities and identify issues before committing to-and if need to be re-prioritise-further work.
Ecological Design. January 1, 1996. by Sim Van der Ryn and Stuart Cowan. Island Press, Washington, D.C., 1996. 200 pages; hardcover $40.00; paperback $19.95. Coauthors Van der Ryn and Cowan define ecological design as design that âminimizes environmentally destructive impacts by integrating itself with living processes.â Ecology, they argue, should be the basis of design; it is natureâs own design strategies we find when we seek to minimize environmental impacts.
