A major milestone in the history of design, this pioneering work by Tomás Maldonado, published in 1970, lays the foundations for a critical and committed reflection, open to an ecological perspective, against the drifts of utopian regressions or exacerbated productivism.
Tomás Maldonado (1922-2018), born in Buenos Aires, was an Argentine artist, designer, theorist and teacher, and a key figure in the ecological turn in design.
