Design, Nature and the Pluriverse

Tongji Design Week, December 2021, Shanghai
(the exhibition TDW page)

What does it mean to design for all forms of life, not just human life?

In Design, Nature and The Pluriverse exhibition, we showcase design projects that reconnect humans with Nature in unexpected ways: moss, plants, mushrooms, birds, soil, rocks, magnetism, fire… Many visible and invisible structures and behaviors of Nature become not only design inspirations, they are the outcomes of a dialogue between creativity and ecology.
