Design in the Age of Experience 2021:the AURORA installation
Welcome to our 3rd installment of Dassault Systèmes’ Design in the Age of Experience initiative, exposing visitors to design’s transformative power in action.
Using 3D printed bioplastic (PLA) Aurora was approached not as an object, but as an optimised “Design for Life” that can be broken down and recycled into new structures. Aurora unites art, science and industry, inspiring a new aesthetic for a more renewable world.
The Sustainability Imperative in Design & Innovation
We must collectively move from a culture of "creating in the absence of limits" to "creating in a limited world".
We have reached a moment in human history where we must design for sustainability and the impact on society. If we want to shift individual and collective behavior toward sustainability, we first need to engage people with compelling reasons to do so — with meaningful, beautiful, emotional experiences.
