Lo—TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism

In an era of high-tech and climate extremes, we are drowning in information while starving for wisdom. Enter Lo—TEK, a design movement building on indigenous philosophy and vernacular infrastructure to generate sustainable, resilient, nature-based technology. With four chapters spanning mountains, forests, deserts, and wetlands representing twenty countries, this book explores millennia-old human ingenuity on how to live in symbiosis with nature. The copper color reflects precious, ancient knowledge, sophisticated and pure as the Swiss brochure binding. This interactive book features an altitude ruler that links to the bars visible on the book block.
