Description

Designers are redefining their relationship with nature. As humans increasingly impact the natural world, designers are seeking to create a more harmonious and regenerative future through collaboration with scientists, biologists, engineers, and other specialists. This book brings together over 65 international projects from various design fields, showcasing how designers are working with nature to address global challenges such as climate change. The publication features seven essays that explore designers' strategies for understanding, simulating, salvaging, facilitating, augmenting, remediating, and nurturing the natural world. Four conversations between scientists and designers delve into topics related to synthetic biology, design language, and shifting perceptions of nature. With over 300 compelling images, illustrations, and data visualizations, this book provides a unique insight into the latest developments in design's relationship with nature.
