Fungi & Mycelium to the Rescue with Gina Clifford

According to Design Futurist and Social Entrepreneur Trisha Mehta, “Beverages are having an identity crisis. They’re no longer just liquids in bottles- they’re interfaces, systems, rituals, and occasionally, biotech experiments in disguise. Think lab-grown everything, AI-enhanced hydration, refill networks replacing retail, and psychoactive sips edging into wellness culture.”With that as context, we are going to explore The Future of Beverages; the critical drivers of change, technological innovations, and the changing experience of consuming beverages.You can learn more about Trisha and her work asfollows:LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/trishamehtaWebsite trishamehta.comLear more about Trisha’s “The New Drinking Order” report here: https://www.trishamehta.com/projects/the-new-drinking-order-part-1CreditsImagesInforming Choices Mini-Pod titles https://pixabay.com/photos/doors-choices-choose-decision-1690423Episode titles OpenAI DALL-EMusic - Pixabay License CertificateThis document confirms the download of an audiofile pursuant to the Content License as defined in the Pixabay Terms of Service available at pixabay.com/service/termsLicensor Username: https://pixabay.com/users/ivan_luzan-34614814Licensee: Steve-WellsAudio File Title: Breaking News Intro LogoAudio File URL: https://pixabay.com/music/introoutro-breaking-news-intro-logo-154189Audio File ID: 154189Date of download: 2024-11-08 11:47:26 UTCPixabay, a Canva Germany GmbH brand, addressPappelallee 78/79, 10437 Berlin, Germany is a user-contributed stock content website.

In the world of design, a spectrum of methodologies shapes how we build and move. From modernist minimalism to cutting-edge parametric design, each approach brings its own priorities—efficiency, aesthetics, or technology. Among these, two methodologies take their cues directly from nature: biophilic design and biomimicry. While they share a connection to the natural world, they couldn’t be more distinct in their purpose and application. In today’s episode, Director of Vanessa Champion Media and Founding Editor of The Journal of Biophilic Design, Vanessa Champion and I will explore biophilic design—a practice that goes beyond just mimicking nature's mechanics to fostering a relationship between human beings and their environments.
