Green design disciplines.

This is not another posting about bio- journal it is about looking into design from the perspective of organic approaches to achieve sustainability result.

Why? Because technology and new culture have shorten the life span of design and designer should anticipate these new movement with ongoing evolution of organic approaches in their design decision.

In-view
With new media protocol and digitalisation of our execution, we really need to inject an organic steroid into our conceptual idea.

I would like to quote “LEGO” as an example of good toys concept that really serve it purpose of fun, educational and organically approach in their concept. Lego concept is built on the smaller component of the problem solving which I would like to label it as “Organic Design”. I do not need to elaborate more on how “LEGO” able to reach kids fantasy world. http://www.lego.com/en-US/products/default.aspx

Coming back to my discussion, how can we formulate an “Organic Design” in our ideas generating process?

To start with, you need to watch more “CSI” drama series, new season... (kidding).
It is about time for artists (designer) like us to migrate into another paradigm of scientific thinking but yet still maintain our “GUT feel and 6 sense”.

Conceptual building need “macro approach solving methodologies” where the “wholesome” is vital for functional and aesthetic addressing. Thus will limit us to look into micro context for metamorphic possibilities.

Having said that, what I really mean is we need to redefine our design up to a very micro level before mapping it to a larger picture.

For example, a furniture design should look into the smallest component (“cell” concept) contribution that enables the designer to shape or form it into variable possibilities rather than one static design or generic moulded design. As we not going into another planet, it is also important to look into “Green” approaches before embark into material and process decision.

*Any further discussion on this posted topic are welcome as I know no one going to read my Blog like reading a journal. Have a nice day.
