What is Life-Centered Design?
In recent years, designers, design researchers, activists and professionals who practice any form of design(thinking) started to question whether the thing we love doing the most (DESIGNING) is any good for life on Earth or for humanity. We believe how we use design today damages our world.
Fortunately, our skills and mindsets can benefit all life on Earth. As designers, we can reinvent how we live in relationship to the natural and human world around us. We must design new connections with each other, our food, our work and most importantly, life on Earth around us.
This start with the realisation that humans are part of nature. Life Centred Design is a philosophy and approach that goes beyond human needs. And advocates for biological ecosystems and non-user communities that never had a voice before in design
