In 1987 Richard Register released his first major book, Ecocity Berkeley: Building Cities for a Healthy Future, inserting "ecocity" into the urban planning lexicon. Using Berkeley as a test bed, he promoted a new vision for urban development; his ideas and drawings presaged a number of contemporary design elements, tuning architecture and urban design to nature’s and human needs and desires. This exhibit explores his inspiring vision and its international influence.
