Techno-natural Symbiosis

Techno-natural Symbiosis

Techno-Natural Symbiosis explores the relationship between humans, technology, and nature, focusing on their coexistence and mutual understanding. It seeks solutions that draw inspiration from the interconnected systems found in nature and technology. For example, the cooperation of an ant colony or the network of relationships within a forest can inspire more nature-focused systems and products. By understanding the deep connections within the natural world, we can redefine intelligence beyond a human-centered view and recognize diverse forms of intelligence that support ecosystem balance and health.

The synergy between people, technology, and the natural world shapes the design concepts and the colour palette is rooted in nature. The colours are humble, balanced, and reflect a desire for simplicity and modesty. This concept evokes a sense of romance and nostalgia for a time when humanity was more in tune with time and nature, emphasizing the sun’s role and natural cycles like harvests. It highlights how everything on Earth is interconnected, and envisions new ways for humans, technology, and nature to coexist harmoniously.
