Life-friendly design

I suggest that our industrial heritage has been an important preliminary stage. The next step is to carefully examine and implement design values that nurture our joy of life. Just like our “industrial design” illustrated our industrial values, a life-friendly design could express our biophilic values.

This optimistic design approach differs from naive nostalgia or fear of extinction. There is no way back to nature but only forward to nature.
