LCD Landscape
What is LCD Landscape?
The Life-Centered Design Landscape gives designers a sense of what shapes ecosystems, the relevancy of co-designing, and taking regenerative actions for long-term positive impact. We have learned from experience that the design process is dynamic. A process and its consecutive steps primarily work on paper only. Reality is often totally different. Instead, our Life-Centered Design Landscape exists out of three spaces in between which you move. This allows designers to better understand the bigger picture by zooming out exponentially, observing all elements that shape, co-design and regenerate ecosystems and everything involved directly and/or indirectly and zooming in to understand individual relationships better and create actions and strategies for impact.
Our LCD Framework is a Landscape and you move between spaces.

Life-centered design landscape orientates designers to observe the entirety of design ecosystems. A landscape perspective is needed as it creates the context in which the design project operates and gives a holistic overview of the design spaces, conversation, cocreation & regeneration.

A Life-Centered Design Landscape exists out of three spaces. The conversational space, the co-creation space and the regeneration space
Understanding the Ecosystem is the conversation space in which you learn about and establish relationships with the living system. The living system includes nature, people, and organizations. We assess the system's health and identify areas for improvement, approaching it with a regenerative mindset.
Co-design with life is the co-creation space where we co-create and prototype life-centered pathways with nature & communities. We create an understanding of the impact our design has on the system.
Bring Design to Life is the regeneration space of Life-Centered Design, where you define and deliver values for nature, community and economy. You need to understand what success means for your project and how to measure this. How does the business and value model for your life-centered innovation look?

Life-centered design is not a fluid approach. It is like a living system, but if we want to have a real impact on nature, community, and economy within the Ecosystem of our design projects, the landscape metaphor helps us create an overview of design methods and actions.
