Neri Oxman portrait

On the final day of the Dezeen 15 digital festival, architect and designer Neri Oxman will discuss her film Nature x Humanity in a live interview at 4:00pm London time.

"How might we leverage design to mediate between biology and technology, the lab and the garden, nature and humanity?" the designer asks in her manifesto, also called Nature x Humanity.

According to Oxman, by "embracing complexity and diversity across systems and scales in design, we open ourselves to advancing beyond mere maintenance towards the betterment of nature."

Neri Oxman is an American–Israeli architect and designer known for pioneering the field of Material Ecology. Formerly a tenured professor at MIT, founder and director of The Mediated Matter Group; she now runs her own lab, called Oxman, in Manhattan.
