DESIGN MAP

This site discusses attempts to interconnect design and biology, together with psychological and other issues relating the arts and sciences. Some of the books mentioned also concern engineering.

Some of these ideas are listed separately from the design studies: see MAP.

Design is chiefly discussed on this site by means of an extended hyper-linked investigation of some aspects of the life and work of Buckminster Fuller in THE FULLER MAP.
