Although humans are intrinsically linked to nature, our actions have frayed this relationship, forcing designers to think more intentionally and to consider the impact of every design decision, from an artifact&#8217;s manufacture and use to its obsolescence. As a result, designers are aligning with biologists, engineers, agriculturists, environmentalists and many other specialists to design a more harmonious and regenerative future. Based on these new partnerships, designers are asking different questions and anticipating future challenges, which not only change the design process, but also what design means.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nature: Collaborations in Design<\/em> \u2015 companion to an exhibition titled <em>Nature<\/em> \u2015 Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial, Co-organized with Cube design museum\u2015includes over 65 international projects from the fields of architecture, product design, landscape design, fashion, interactive and communication design, and material research. More than 300 compelling and exquisite photographs, illustrations and content from data visualizations illustrate seven essays, which explain and explore designers&#8217; strategies around understanding, simulating, salvaging, facilitating, augmenting, remediating and nurturing nature. Four conversations between scientists and designers delve into topics related to synthetic biology, scientific versus design lexicon and recent shifts in the meaning of nature with a glossary illuminating scientific, technological and theoretical concepts and processes invoked by the designers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrea Lipps, Matilda McQuaid, Caitlin Condell, G\u00e8ne Bertrand Designers today are striving to transform our relationship with the natural world.
