Lo—TEK. Design by Radical Indigenism
En estos tiempos de desarrollo tecnológico y clima extremo, somos víctima de un alud de información que no genera conocimiento. Conozca Lo—TEK, un movimiento de diseño que recupera la filosofía indígena y la infraestructura vernácula para generar tecnología inspirada en la naturaleza resistente y sostenible.

Por: Julia Watson / Ed. Taschen
Este libro, que incluye un prefacio del antropólogo Wade Davis, viaja a 20 países, de Perú a Filipinas y de Tanzania a Irán, con el fin de explorar las soluciones desarrolladas por la humanidad a lo largo de milenios para vivir en simbiosis con la naturaleza.
“Technology can be different. Technology can just use nature and the systems that nature is composed of, to do things for us like clean sewerage and provide drinking water. That’s architecture that is beautiful and emblematic of a particular place.” —Julia Watson
Lo—TEK, derived from Traditional Ecological Knowledge, is a cumulative body of multigenerational knowledge, practices, and beliefs, countering the idea that indigenous innovation is primitive and exists isolated from technology.
With a foreword by anthropologist Wade Davis and four chapters spanning Mountains, Forests, Deserts, and Wetlands, Julia Watson’s new book explores thousands of years of human wisdom and ingenuity from 20 countries including Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania, Kenya, Iran, Iraq, India, and Indonesia.
