Echoing nature - A design of an exhibition concept based on a natural phenomenon as a model to explore and learn

Abstract

In the project Echoing Nature i have searched a design for an exhibi¬tion concept. That visualizes the natural phenomenon of self-assem¬bling materials in a simplified way. My question is, how can you emo¬tionally re-connect the modern man to nature and raise awareness. I assume my thesis that the experience of a natural phenomenon can inspire us to see a bigger context, provoke curiosity and generate an initial sense of belonging to nature. The result is an interactive sculp¬ture that consists of 3-dimensional Tetris blocks. A construction toy that interacts with the user. In the science center Universeum context, i have worked under their four conditions that the exhibition must comply with; attract, captivate, learn and deepen. An intermediate target has been to introduce Biomimetics basic motto which is a new way to see and evaluate the nature, not what we can extract from na¬ture, but what we can learn from it.
