[SYN]
A collaborative design proposal by Norwood Dennis and Steven Fendley. Finalist in the John Portman Prize Design Studio (Spring 2016). Since the dawn of consciousness man has sought to harness the power of the natural world, and the very act of doing so is what distinguishes humans from all other known life - also known as “original sin” or “mankind’s fall from grace”. Our design proposal, however, argues for design to function as the mechanism which knits together the fabrics of man and nature to form a symbiotic matrix yielding net positive feedback loops. The mission of the LBC is to promote the way of life of the future which is possible through a relearned syntropic relationship between ourselves ourselves and the synthesis (self-organization / evolution) that makes all life possible. We aim to achieve this goal through our design philosophy and application.
