Nature-Driven Design

Explore the future of design, where nature doesn’t just inspire—it co-creates. Learn about growing islands, coastal adaptation, bio-fabricating cement, and using silk to reduce food waste in a panel discussion with Skylar Tibbits, James Vincent Brice, Laura Maria Gonzalez, and Benedetto Marelli. After the panel, engage with current material and sustainable design research with interactive demonstrations in the Learning Labs. Or join the Maker Hub to design for other species by creating insect habitats from recycled and natural materials.
