As the boundaries between design and science increasingly blur, find out how biology is being harnessed to create products, processes and environments in synergy with the natural world.
A different biodiversity based on design.
The influence of humans on the earth can hardly be underestimated. Think of climate change, deforestation, and the decline of biodiversity. We are heading for a sixth mass extinction, but it is not too late!
Can we imagine a form of biodiversity based on design? Can we use technology for a natural future? Together with moderator Ruben Baart (editor-in-chief of Next Nature Network) we explore how to design for a world where biodiversity is declining and where the boundaries between design and science syncretize.
