Design principles for care-centered systems
members_of
Cross-scale frameworks linking spatial patterns, diagrams, and simplicity as expressions of care in design.
Generative design through environmental constraints
members_of
Design frameworks that enable creativity and life through structural integrity, loose parts, and natural forces—opposing professional monopolies on creation. Emphasizes emergence over control.
Xenobiology and morphogenetic design principles
members_of
Studying hypothetical life forms and self-organizing systems to uncover universal principles of biological development without centralized blueprints.
