Wicked Problem: Toxic Waste Disposal in Historic Restoration

"Design theory is a system that explains the fundamental principles and elements of design. It is the understanding of the physical aspects of design as well as the psychological angles in design. It helps designers to understand not only how to make spaces more visually appealing, but also how to create an environment that influences well-being and sustainability. This ties into the context of historic restoration, and the wicked problem of the disposal of toxic materials. Materials like asbestos, lead paint, and PCBs, all of which pose complex challenges that do not have simple solutions for design, health, and the environment.
