Biodesign is a rapidly evolving cross-disciplinary design field, often involving professionals from diverse fields such as biology, chemistry, biotechnology, computation and design. Due to its interdisciplinary nature and evolving applications, biodesign can be defined by other terms and practices such as bio-inspired, bio-integrated, biomimetic or biophilic design with the common goal of an integration of biological systems into design processes and technologies. As a result, there may be variations in how different individuals, organizations, or disciplines interpret and define “biodesign”.While they vary in definition, they all relate to how we might create ecologically driven and socially conscious design with less environmental impact originated by patterns and behaviours associated with human consumption of resources, and interactions with the environment.The MA Biodesign at Central Saint Martins specifically understands biodesign as a cross-disciplinary design approach, a means to incorporate intrinsic principles of biological living systems - to redefine the use of energy, water, air, waste and materials and thus foster a more holistic, regenerative and symbiotic future.
