评论：深度设计：通向宜居未来的道路。作者：David Wann由田纳西大学弗洛拉·G·施罗德审阅。深度设计：通向宜居未来的道路。华盛顿特区：岛屿出版社，1996年版。216页。国际标准书号：1-55963-420-0。深度设计是为工业和社区活动开发高质量和高性能流程的一种方法。这种方法摒弃了工业革命的过时模式，采用了有助于保护世界生物和文化财富的做法。作者大卫·万恩谴责供给侧经济学强调寻找将资源转化为利润的方法，他表示，人类应该以自然界中可观察到的系统模式为模型来对待生活。Wann解释说，自然系统的反馈、多样性和灵活性的特征可以纳入结构、监管系统和社会或社区安排的设计原则。他提出，这样的转变将使人们的生活更加满意，因为他们将拥有更高质量的产品、服务和有形基础设施，以及更多与家人和朋友一起享受这些东西的时间。深度设计的文本可读性很强，其中充满了公司、社区和工业流程的例子，在这些公司、社区和工业流程中，深度设计可以提供改进或目前正在提供改进。对于每个示例，Wann概述了利益相关者之间的协作，并描述了深入设计实施的积极影响。其结果是让我们得以一窥深度设计原则将为社会带来的巨大好处。关于价值的讨论，包括保护资源的重要性，贯穿整本书。Wann希望我们重新思考许多商业和社区流程背后的基本假设。他认为，市场和国民生产总值不应该再是美国和其他国家制造方法(无论是设计理念、资源聚集、产品生成或向消费者交付商品)背后的主要力量。他提出，全球范围内态度的改变至关重要。人们只有拒绝物质产品的重要性(植根于传统的供应)，才能保持他们的生活质量。
Review: Deep Design: pathways to a livable future. By David Wann Reviewed by Flora G. Schrode University of Tennessee Wann, David. Deep Design: pathways to a livable future. Washington, D.C.: Island Press, 1996. 216 pp. US $24.95 ISBN: 1-55963-420-0. Deep Design is presented as an approach to developing high quality and high performance processes for industrial and community activities. This approach rejects obsolete patterns of the industrial revolution and adopts practices which can help preserve the world’s biological and cultural wealth. Denouncing supply-side economics for its emphasis on finding ways to convert resources to profits, author David Wann says humans should approach life in a manner modeled on observable patterns of systems in nature. Wann explains that natural systems' characteristics of feedback, diversity, and flexibility can be incorporated into design principles for structures, regulatory systems, and social or community arrangements. He proposes that such a transformation will make life more satisfying for people because they will have better quality products, services, and physical infrastructure, and more time in which to enjoy these things with their families and friends. Very readable, the text of Deep Design is replete with examples of companies, communities, and industrial processes where deep design could offer improvement or is currently offering improvement. For each example, Wann outlines collaboration between stakeholders and describes the positive impact of deep design implementation. The result is a glimpse into the enormous benefit deep design principles would offer society. Discussions of values, including the importance of resource conservation, surface throughout the book. Wann would like us to rethink fundamental assumptions behind many commercial and community processes. He argues that the market and GNP should no longer be the major forces behind U.S. and other countries’ manufacturing methods (whether it be design conception, resource gathering, product generation, or the delivery of goods to consumers.) He proposes that a worldwide change in attitude is crucial. People can maintain their quality of life only if they reject the importance of material goods (grounded in traditional supply-
