We live in a very special time where we have access to tools which enable us to build things straight out of our imagination.
Being a designer today is an important responsibility. Humanity as we all know is heading at an unimaginable pace into polluted and unstable future. Designing for such a pace requires a higher level of multi-disciplinary knowledge and insights into present-day problems and advanced technologies which help us push ourselves. As an architect, I developed such skills to see problems on a deeper level and come up with solutions that can solve multiple problems.
I believe the future is biomimetic, as nature has millions of years of experience and knowledge on how to survive with minimal energy and strong structures, we humans should nurture natural techniques and adapt to nature. As humans, it is our responsibility to be sustainable and protect the planet. A nature model is the best way forward. There should be a transaction in the design approach following social conscience and science such as synthetic biology, and material engineering; that is, understanding biomimicry in design and engineering.
