Draft Manifesto

Design should transform the existing and recycling or wasting materials to improve its usability, and reducing the waste for building a relationship with nature.


Materials:
"We are still obliged to take most materials as we find them with all their natural properties and to improvise things out of what we find." (Pye, 1964). Therefore, design should have an acknowledge about proper and accurate of its material use.


Transformation:
Transformation is a process in which the reality in front of us changes its form, like a half-empty glass becomes a half-full glass. Reusing the used materials which is benefit for sustainability, transforming the meaning of previous material and creating the new new meaning combine with design. According to Ehrenfeld(2008), these can summarized with three critical domains:

· Our sense of ourselves as human beings: the human domain.
· Our sense of our place in the natural world: the natural domain.
· Our sense of doing the right thing: the ethical domain.


Usability:
The usability of reusing materials to achieve the responsibility to design, as well as to drive people's design idea of using material properly in order to improve the usability.


Conscious about nature:
Awakened consciousness can increase the likelihood that our designs will work the way we intend them to and also help us identify the causes of our problems (Ehrenfeld, 2008).
