What can designers learn from SolarPunk?
Kevin Richard, Customer Experience Manager @Groupe Mutuel.

SolarPunk narratives, cultural weak signals, and the need for alternative futures of design.
SolarPunk is a movement that tries to answer what the world could look like when our daily life is sustainable, and a term that was coined in 2008 for the art movement. Having harmony with the natural world and industry. Making buildings that are carbon-neutral and use renewable energies to combat climate change is the intent behind SolarPunk. A company in the United States, called Open Source Ecology, works to develop industrial machines like tractors, ovens, and cement makers at a fraction of the commercial cost and then shares its designs for free. This effort works to create an open-source economy. The positive psychology balances out climate anxiety and gives a positive outlook on what the human race is capable of. It is meant to plant seeds for future generations to benefit.
