Design X Other Species

The Master’s Degree in Design X Other Species responds to the need to adopt transdisciplinary design as a cultural and ecological practice to foster coexistence conditions for, with, and by other living species.

Through participatory design methodologies involving collaboration with experts from fields such as ecology, ethology, environmental humanities, and sociology, the program fosters an innovative dialogue that considers other species not as subjects of study but as equal participants in design and research processes.

Participants engage with real-world contexts, gaining the opportunity to design, prototype, and test projects, products, and devices that support multispecies coexistence. Examples include integrated living spaces for humans and non-humans, regenerative projects aimed at biodiversity enhancement, and products designed to aid the repopulation of endangered species while maintaining ecosystem balance.
