Exploring Opportunities from the More-than-Human Perspective for Investigating Wicked Problem in Our Entangled World

This paper emphasizes the significance of embracing the more-than-human perspective, which goes beyond conventional human-centered design approaches and offers a foundation for innovative design methodologies. We will delve into the fundamental concepts underpinning the more-than-human perspective, elucidating its core principles. Following this, we will present recommendations on integrating this perspective into distinct design methodologies, fostering a comprehensive and inclusive approach to design. Furthermore, the paper will illuminate the practical implications of adopting the more-than-human perspective through three detailed case studies. These case studies will serve as practical illustrations of how this perspective can influence the design process, unlock novel design possibilities, and contribute to the development of innovative solutions. By delving into these real-world scenarios, we aim to showcase the tangible benefits and transformative potential of the more-than-human perspective in the realm of design.
