Phy­tophil­ia

The Phy­tophil­ia pan­el dis­cus­sion aimed to bring the dis­course on regen­er­a­tive per­spec­tives in design to design stu­dents and design pro­fes­sion­als who are sig­nif­i­cant­ly involved in mate­r­i­al deci­sions for new con­sumer prod­ucts and liv­ing and work­ing environments.

The record­ing of the event is now pub­lished in two parts.

The aes­thet­ic and sen­so­ry qual­i­ties of the plant fibers in the Phy­tophil­ia ency­clo­pe­dia can also be phys­i­cal­ly expe­ri­enced in the accom­pa­ny­ing Phy­tophil­ia exhi­bi­tion in Munich at the Cul­ture­sphere gallery until March 31, 2023.

The event was orga­nized by Symbio(s)cene, a non-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion that aims to con­tribute to the devel­op­ment of new, sus­tain­able world­views and pro­mote think­ing beyond the Anthro­pocene. Demon­strat­ing new ways of look­ing at the world is key to bring­ing about much-need­ed change. Symbio(s)cene stands for a holis­tic approach that pro­motes trans­dis­ci­pli­nary dia­logue between the sci­ences and the arts, espe­cial­ly the link­ing of their dif­fer­ent knowl­edge cul­tures, approach­es and meth­ods. The aim is to give space to both the cog­ni­tive and emo­tion­al dimen­sions of knowl­edge cre­ation process­es, thus open­ing up new per­spec­tives for a sus­tain­able human-nature rela­tion­ship and a future worth living.

The event was sup­port­ed as part of the state’s activ­i­ties to pro­mote design by the Bavar­i­an State Min­istry of Eco­nom­ic Affairs, Region­al Devel­op­ment and Ener­gy, bay­ern design, the Macro­me­dia Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Sci­ences and the Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of Munich (TUM).
