Designing for Next Nature
By Sjef Fransen • Oct 17th, 2008 • Category: AssignmentsWhat will happen when products become truly intelligent? Will they develop their own needs? And will we as designers then be hired by products to design for them? Within the module Next Nature Chris Heger and I made a statement about what the future can be if food comes intelligent.
I will first explain the goal of the module, the deliverables and the concept Chris and I produced. After that I will give the feedback form and reflect upon the week.
