This virtual workshop aims to provide a space for participants to explore what the biophysical context is, how it can be approached and what it can offer to their own research and practice.
The biophysical context can be understood as the role and effects that a subject's environmental surroundings can have on the subject's different states of being (wellbeing, survival, evolution and development). A subject's environmental surroundings can include various environments
such as the natural environment, built environment, social environment, economic environment, cultural environment, and the technological environment. The transdisciplinary character of biophysics, like design, means that it can be applied within and across a broad range of disciplines and practices.
Biophysical concepts and approaches have been employed to understand a variety of phenomena across many different disciplines such as policy design (Mann & Absher, 2014; Sullivan & Meigh, 2007), community health management (Dunatuto et al., 2014), applied geography (Owen, Kench & Ford, 2016), forestry (Chang & Anderson, 2021; Wolf et al., 2021) agriculture (Atwell, Schulte & Westphal, 2009) and archaeology (Nelson et al., 2010). Exploring the biophysical context has the potential to reveal new ways for design researchers, practitioners, and students to meaningfully consider, understand and engage with the many ways in which environmental surroundings can affect a subject's states of being.
We look forward to seeing you there!
