+be fully immersed in biodiverse ecosystems. How do you design for that complexity?
 In this proposal we suggest taking an iconic machine that is in our environment and re-imagine it from the perspective of the environment. There is only one real contender: the car.\\

-One thing stands out when you do a visual survey of recent concept cars. It is not so much the car as the environment it is set in. The  [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/axbi8w5fals3l2i/BMW-Next100.jpg?dl=0|the BMW Next 100]] is a good example. It shows the companies vision for the next 100 years. The car is surrounded by an asphalt desert all the way to the horizon. That is not the environment we are hoping for in the next 100 years. We suggest something like a biodiverse forest in stead.\\

 We propose to start the design for a radically different concept car based on one or two large animals and their ecological role in our landscape: their behavioral signature / phenology.
