viveka,
i started to develop the idea of an ecology of artifacts in my 1989 paper
"on the essential contexts of artifacts or on the proposition that design is
making sense of things" in design issues V, 2, spring 1989 from gregory
bateson's 1972 "steps to an ecology of mind" and kenneth boulding's 1978
"ecodynamics." for me, this is not merely a term but it refers to one of
four theories of the contexts in which artifacts need to survive, providing
criteria for designers to satisfy. it has become chapter six in my 2006
book titled "the semantic turn, a new foundation for design." i have no
knowledge of andrea branzi's writings and do not know what it means for
her.

Subject: Origins of 'The Ecology of the Artificial'?
I am trying to trace the origins of the term 'The Ecology of the Artificial'
in 1992 Manzini uses it in the Design Issues paper 'Prometheus of the
Everyday'
in 1990 it is used in 'the Munich Design Charter', published in Design
Issues in 1991 in 1888 it used by Andrea Branzi in his book 'Learning from
Milan: Design and the Second Modernity'
Does the term come from Branzi or from somewhere ells?
Thanks
v.
