Thesis, Towards an Endemic Design : Situated and Committed Practices
This thesis explores the figure of the endemic designer, an approach that could help reconcile living beings with their environment confronted to current ecological and social challenges. The endemic designer is characterized by their ability to become rooted in a territory, taking into account its local dynamics and valuing the knowledge and resources of its surroundings. By relying on related practices such as farmer design, social co-design, and in-situ design, these approaches also help to define the practice of endemic design, offering sustainable solutions adapted to local realities. Through this process, the endemic designer could act as a mediator, fostering respectful relationships between humans and non-humans, and promoting harmony within the local ecosystem.
