What is it about?
: The language of nature is embedded in the way we speak, name things, create architectural constructions or develop new materials to thrive as specie. The ecological, sustainable or the biologically-inspired design definitions are signs of a collective intelligence. Searching new educational ways to rediscover and implement nature´s strategies is helping us to redefine a new ethic for the designer, a Nature-Centered one. This workshop is intended to provide an initial exploration of how design academics and researchers understand and find an accurate meaning of Nature-Centered Design (NX) by creating a speculative syllabus content. Through mixed methods it will be divided in two sections and conducted in a close-to-nature setting.

Why is it important?
In the 21st Century, we are facing important changes in the way we create as human specie. We are opening our conciousness to understand how we interrelate and design with all the web of life. We become nature as we design along with other non-human species.
Perspectives
This is the first exploraton on how to define Nature-Centered Design. We are coming back to life, as we understand the need to design for, with and as nature.
