The successful application of biophilic design fundamentally depends on adopting a new
consciousness toward nature, recognizing how much our physical and mental wellbeing continues to rely on the quality of our connections to the world beyond ourselves of which we still remain a part.
What Is and Is Not Biophilic Design? by Stephen R. Kellert
This is a good resource to see it's biological benefits.
Design Considerations : 14 patterns of Biophilic Design
Biomimicry is defined in the book as a "new science that studies nature's models and then imitates or takes inspiration from these designs and processes to solve human problems". Benyus suggests looking to Nature as a "Model, Measure, and Mentor" and emphasizes sustainability as an objective of biomimicry.
We have programmed technology to adapt natures design, solving problems more than efficiently but impelementing conastant sustainable growth. Calm Computing, Persuasive Technology, Positive Computing are technobiophilic by-products,
aside from
physical adaptations but corresponding packaging of persuasive elements.
Human-Computer Interaction by Masaaki Kurosu
Chaos in product lifecycle is comparable to the chaos in nature. We biologically evolve around the chaos and are drawn into different ways to harness it's momentum towards our benefits. Tactful observation is a great
start to
merging strategies, but total synchrony leads to involvement and creative energy.
Using this philosophy to merge Lean UX Agile Ecosystems, and "the mindfulness metronome" to adapt to other evolving systems.
Much like how civilizations evolve around great bodies of water, sets and organizations should be landscaped around the ARTs and release runways, where all the bodies are involved with the cadence and measurement of its speed.
Each containerized stage is a lifecycle on it's own. With it's own momentum to measure and model & to strategically integrate with.
Much like in the development lifecycle of a product using the Lean UX Agile philosophy.
UX design
Aside from physiological features of nature that affect human biology through everyday visual interaction, identifying metaphoric similarities in structures can help keep engagement and culture elevated. Applying this to anything that
evolves
and takes on it's own lifecycle. Setting up environments to cultivate growth with an underlying cadence and heartbeat.
Though physical biophilic workplace architecture may have a long build time and expensive to create, in essence of productivity, encapsulating main concpets in design through biomimicing is a combiniation of ideas intended to maintain constant growth.
Scaled Agile Framework Current Biophilic ImplementationsThe technology driving ecosystem is The Agile Release Train are the main elements released on the runway. The path can have multiple layers of ARTs if the surrounding organizations are well landscaped. In full coordination to each flag or segment in release path. The release path is measured, and the main metric's goal is for synchorizing all components.
A well structured landscape allows complete access and transparency of available resources.
Agile Release Trains or Multiple ARTs in a value stream can be great for layered insights and multiple post processed assets in the asset bank.
Take Economic View
Apply systems thinking
Assume variability; perserve options
Build incrementally with fast, integrated learning cycles
Base milestones on an objective evaluation of working systems
Visualize and limit WIP, reduce batch sizes, and manage queue length
Apply cadence; synchronize with cross-domain planning
Unlock the intrinsic motivation of knowledge workers
Decentralize decision-making
LEAN-AGILE
The "mindfulness metronome " is the rythym the market and stakeholders provide which branches down from marketing analysis and financial feasibility. The business backbone for a sustainable runway. Able to pull from components,
pre-tested
before adding in a space provided in the value stream.
It is a way to adopt the decentralized descion making process and develop with cadance. Both of which are essential in AGILE and LEAN methodologies
This philosophy synergizes collaborative forces of the human component behind the ARTs. And an organic way of grouding the momentum on track with the rest of the system, via the synchrony belt on the value stream runway.
Roles in Safe Ecosystem
Well Landscaped Environments allow enough alloted space for each environment to test out their own feedback loops as well as designing compactable objectives.
Landscaping with each microcosmos in mind, with complete transparency to the heartbeat produced by the "mindfulness metronome".
The Biophilic Design for Products is meant to be an idealistic product creation environment for cultivating collective development. It emphasizes that organizations within the whole product each need their own specialized environment, but in rythym to the entire operation.
Merging two proven concpets with the observable patterns to engage everyone with design.
Research and documentation for this concept is provided under each paragraph, brought to life be the amazing artistry of Zuco which is available for download in the AdobeCreativeCloud universe.
