Connection between Design and Nature Reflections and Projects for the future of the Planet

Abstract

Humanity’s delayed reaction to the consequences of the climate crisis is the result of multiple interests and strategies caused by denialist policies and piloted information. It is also true, however, that there is a strictly cultural responsibility, in the form of a lack of dialogue between sources of knowledge. Restoring the balance between humanity and nature is the most important issue that contemporary design must address. Design has the task of highlighting objects and strategies in re-establishing the relationship between Man and the context in which he lives by re-integrating the social and natural ecosystems. In this context, thanks to the evolution of natural sciences and technology, it is possible to create fertile ground for the emergence of new relationships between design and nature, capable of offering new ways of both interpreting nature and configuring new scenarios.
