As part of the Master MID in Interior Design, offered in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano, SPD Scuola Politecnica di Design and POLI.design present a masterclass that connects two complementary dimensions of contemporary design: nature and technology. “Design with Life a Dialogue Between Biophilic Design and Artificial Intelligence” explores how the principles of biophilic design can merge with the potential of artificial intelligence to envision more empathetic, adaptive, and sustainable spaces.
A Conversation Between Two Perspectives
Moderated by Giorgio Tartaro, the talk brings together two leading international voices. Bettina Bolten, expert in Biophilic Design, will illustrate how the connection between humans and nature can translate into design strategies that restore well-being and identity. Emilio Billi, specialist in Artificial Intelligence, will explore how emerging technologies can act as tools to enhance creativity, personalization, and efficiency in the design process. The exchange offers students a broad, interdisciplinary vision of the future of design, one that balances human sensitivity with digital innovation.
Designing with Life, Not Just for Life
In an era marked by technological acceleration and ecological crisis, designers face a complex challenge: integrating the natural and the artificial into a coherent and responsible language. Biophilic Design teaches us to create spaces that speak to our innate connection with nature, while Artificial Intelligence unlocks new opportunities for analysis, adaptation, and experimentation. This encounter invites us to move beyond the opposition between the organic and the digital, envisioning a form of design that does not merely imitate life, but collaborates with it.
