Content of the program

The « Design and Bio-inspiration » training is designed for craftsmen and designers seeking to reinvent their creative process in an ecological and social manner.

The mission of this training is to propel participants into the future by familiarizing them with emerging constraints such as evolving tools, materials, and processes, encouraging them to conceive innovative solutions.

The training introduces the concept of «design fiction», stimulating creative thinking by envisioning possible futures, thus providing new perspectives and imaginative solutions.

This approach provides a dynamic framework for imagining and prototyping innovative objects, transcending the limits of the present.

Inspired by nature, learners discover innovative solutions to current and future problems, delving into ecosystems to understand harmonious relationships, resource optimization, and resilient systems.

Participants gain an understanding of nature’s remarkable efficiency in terms of form and process, serving as a source of inspiration for their creations.
