Description

Integrating living things and their intelligent capabilities at the heart of design processes, design evolves towards a creation in harmony with the surrounding nature. Therefore, the designer is led to reconsider the way he designs sustainable solutions, capable not only of integrating, but also of acting as living entities within within their ecosystem. It promotes continuous interaction with the envi-ronment, promoting mutual enrichment where design and nature enrich each other mutually. Designers have the ability to reintegrate nature into the creation of materials and collaborate with natural resources. This reintegration promotes mutual positive impacts between natural and human systems. This interaction has leads designers to sketch proactive scenarios of future habitats, merging the scientific knowledge to co-evolve with nature. The design thus becomes a catalyst for the transformation of the design paradigm towards interconnectedness harmonious with the environment. Design, by working directly with living things, no longer considers nature as a simple natural resource, but as an active partner in the creation of materials. In this context, it is about co-creation with the living, from a perspective of bio-integrity rather than anthropocentric, which contributes to the regeneration of natural systems, restoration of human health and the preservation of biodiversity. Drawing on the varied reflections of de-signers moving towards the design of living materials, we presented various ways of co-manufacturing with nature, based on while promoting an approach multi-species. In this survey, the role of design of life in a systemic and holistic regeneration by developing natural natures in construction field will be presented bu using algae composite structure.
