Designing Beyond a Generation:

Our last class sparked a conversation regarding the issue of time as related to ecological and sustainable design.  So often there is a gap between human actions and natural processes, which in turn causes a level of unsatisfaction due to mankind's desire for immediate gratification.  While most default to creating systems and structures that will influence people immediately, the Meghalayas have a different method of cultivating natural processes as a means to influence not necessarily their children, but their children's children.  There is a lesson of true ecological design that can be taken from this video, and can be implemented in each and every one of our designs today.
