Abstract
The research aims to explore the role of plants in today’s society and the added values and sustainable potentials through interaction with machines under the concept of DFS (design for sustainability). The major research methods include a literature review and case study, as an output, we both classify the typologies of plant-computer interaction under the sustainability dialogue, along with the project-based discussion of interactive furniture, implementing to explain the sustainable role of plants in new directions for future lifestyles.
The research is not only a response to the trend of biology-human-science integration but also an exploration of the harmonious symbiosis of humans and other forms of life under the framework of HCI and DFS. A typological is useful to provide guidance and reference for the study of the symbiotic relationship between plants, machines, and people under a sustainable context.
