But that is not the only exciting news! After years of dedicated work, Version 2.0 of our Framework is ready for its global debut. Our journey begins with the Symbiotic Design Framework book, launching on October during the Dutch Design Week, followed by revamped courses and a brand-new community hub.

We help designers and other professionals to ethically transition from outdated, linear, conventional and isolated practices into others that are

Reducing their environmental impact and achieving their social and economical goals

Design and Sustainability…taken seriously!

At the Symbiotic Design Academy you will learn critical thinking & problem solving skills to create genuinely sustainable design outcomes.

Our approach towards Design.

We believe design is a complex systemic discipline where designers, good designers, do the right questions. And if you pay deep attention, you will find the answers to these questions embedded in them. Design is a shared compromise where petitioners and designers work on a one-to-one basis, putting emphasis in the relations between all components and the environment in which the project will evolve. Research from an autopoetic perspective – which is the main tool to achieve a conscious decision-making process – will enable us to achieve a Symbiotic Design. The use of these symbiotic relations is the only possible and feasible way to integrate design into a biotic environment. If this relations doesn’t exist, we will always be producing asymbiotic entities that will continue collapsing our ecosystems.
