The first chair ever created using AI by Phillip Stark
Human- AI Co-creation:
The evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models has revolutionized traditional design practices, challenging designers to adapt and innovate.
There are many ways in which AI is here to assist, it can be used to generate a large number of design options based on certain inputs and constraints, allowing designers to explore a broader range of possibilities than they otherwise would not be able to on their own.
Also, AI powered predictive modeling can optimize designs based on certain performance criteria, such as strength, materials, and weight, or cost.
Design for the circular economy:
The concept of cradle-to-cradle design has been here for a while, but only now do we see momentum and seriousness toward making circular products.
The key strategy for more circular product is designing products that can be easily repaired, upgraded, or repurposed instead of being thrown away. Using sustainable and biodegradable materials that can be easily recycled or composted.
Creating closed-loop systems that keep materials in use and minimize waste. Incorporating circular economy principles in the product's entire life cycle, from design, production, use, and end of life. Incorporating the principles of Extended Producer Responsibility and Product-Service Systems.
Biomimicry and nature inspired design:
Can help to create products, services, and systems that are more sustainable, efficient, and resilient. By studying and mimicking nature's solutions, designers can create innovations that are more in line with the natural systems that support life on Earth.
Focus on Materiality:
Materiality is no more an afterthought. It is becoming increasingly important as designers seek to create more sustainable, durable, and efficient products.
Many new material groups, such as advanced materials, Biomaterials, and Smart materials, have emerged, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
