It sets out to restore the balance between technology, human society, and the integrity of the natural world. LCD approaches design holistically, considering the footprint of all stakeholders as we question our reliance on human-centred design) and the wisdom of putting people over the needs of all of our natural systems. LCD principles establish inclusivity, longevity, and symbiosis with nature as the fundamentals of design and achieving a sustainable future.
