Principles & Pathways Beyond
Sustainability
1. Observe & Interact

\u2022The landscape is the textbook
\u2022Failure is useful so long as we learn
\u2022Elegant solutions are simple, even invisible
\u2022Make the smallest intervention necessary
\u2022Avoid too much of a good thing
\u2022The problem is the solution
\u2022Recognize and break out of design cul-de-sacs

\u2022\u201cIt is as if we are wandering about a landscape
littered with the pieces of many different jigsaw
puzzles. Our task is to pick up as many pieces as
seem possibly useful, limited in the end by how
many we can recognize, and carry them to a place
we don\u2019t yet know, where we must construct a
new jigsaw puzzle from what we have.\u201d

\u2022\u201c\u2026unless we get out there, and open our eyes and
use our hands and our hearts, all the ideas in the
world will not save us.\u201d
