Imagine this design assignment…

by matt

Great little passionate TED talk from William McDonough: What’s your intention?

“Imagine this design assignment. Design something that:

  • makes oxygen
  • sequesters carbon
  • fixes nitrogen
  • distills water
  • accrues solar energy as fuel
  • makes complex sugars and food
  • creates micro-climates
  • changes colours with the seasons
  • self-replicates
  • Why don’t we knock that down and write on it?”
