Designing with Non-humans
Designing with Non-humans
MFA Group project: Afure Adah, Catalina Munoz, Dominique Flaksberg, and Anas Kachlan
We live in an era of fragmentation and human disconnection with nature, leading to unsustainable living, resource depletion, global warming, health problems, and biodiversity loss. How can we reconnect to our planet? How can we bring this connection to Design?
We developed a framework to better understand how to design with nature through experimentation.
