Connection with nature

This card helps you retrieve your connection with nature.

• Has your role as a designer evolved as you see yourself as part of a larger natural ecosystem?

• Does understanding the interconnectedness between human and non-human agents shape your approach to sustainability in design?

• How will you balance your creative vision with the natural behaviours of organisms or materials?

• How will you integrate the rhythms and cycles of nature into your design process?

Tree House

Tree houses not only connect human life with nature and the trees themselves, but they also create a symbiotic relationship between people and trees. When the load, tilt angle, and supporting components are balanced and non-intrusive, trees can embrace and support human life with ease. In turn, they grow stronger, reinforcing the built environment and providing shelter. 

• Observe for various time frames if there are natural rhythms or cycles in your biodesign project.

• Look at your biodesign project's lifecycle and try to connect it to nature.
