The future we want will be life-centred or not
From user, to human, to life.
We develop technology in the service of humanity, which enhances life and makes it sustainable in the long term.
The closed perspective on ourselves as people has led us to design solutions that are very comfortable for us, but that do not take other living beings into account. Nor do they consider future generations. Our survival as a species will depend on the relationship we have with other living beings and with our ecosystems.
Life-Centered Design
In a finite world, design must work by and for life as the ultimate source of value (and not against it). Life-Centered Design is...
??Design to last; not to fail.
??Designing on a real, natural and human scale, to produce and consume less, to be part of systemic solutions.
??To design more things as part of a system, generating as little waste and clutter as possible.
??Design for a restorative economy.
??Design symbiotically with nature, learning from it to complement it.
??To design for the future responsibly. To be happy and to make our planet thrive.
??To design for our ‘us’ of the future. A future in which the natural and the human are centre and essence.
