Complex design

From William McDonough’s Cradle to Cradle TED talk:

Imagine this design assignment:

Design something that…

• makes oxygen
• sequesters carbon
• fixes nitrogen
• distills water
• accrues solar energy as fuel
• makes complex sugars and food
• creates microclimates
• changes colors with the season
• self-replicates

Why don’t we knock that down and write on it…
