Welcome back (finally) to season 2 of Miscellaneous Materials. This is the 011th collection of semi-random documents known as “Miscellaneous Materials”

Current CO2 PPM: 414.99 PPM



We'll kick things off with MM011 This is the collection that should have probably been sent around January 2020??? Anyway, I have no real remembrance of what I was looking into or thinking about when it was collected other than that a) my wife and I had just had another kid, b) I was trying to revamp my Sustainable Graphic design course, and c) I'm a lunatic with no one specific theme to what I collect. 

I did a quick glance over the folder, there are some cool things here:
- Reich_Gradual-Process.pdf > Steven Reich's sort of "manifesto" Music as a Gradual Process, some interesting things there to think about from the perspective of generative or more ambient design practice.
- DesForAnEmpWorRecPeoNatAndSel.pdf > Sim Van Der Ryn's "Design for an Empathic World" > one of the better books I've read about sustainability + design
- hm_12.2.2019_white_paper_harvard_response.pdf > A Letter from Harvard's Faculty on how Harvard might move forward as a steward of ecology ...

And a few other great gems!

Enjoy. Happy Reading/browsing
