EVENT
The call for transpecies design proposes that humans, as co-denizens of a shared planet, must shift from an anthropocentric mindset in exchange for a worldview in service of the earth’s magnificent biodiversity. Some of our neighbors are known and familiar, such as plants, birds, and bees. Others, like microbes and subterranean organisms, remain abstract and easily overlooked. Through design we have an opportunity and responsibility to improve not only the quality of human lives, but also those of our symbiotic neighbors, both big and small. Through design, we can acknowledge the damage our predecessors have inflicted upon the earth by restoring and revitalizing damaged environments, leaning on and learning from nature’s own incredible designs. The transpecies design symposium will explore various approaches on how to realize and put to work transpecies design principles.
