“…Repairing nature and landscapes requires us to repair ourselves. If we recognise this interconnectedness, we will see how other beings, such as plants, can also play a role in repairing damaged landscapes, such as those seen in Sweden's heavily polluted post-glass Wuyts 109 factory plants (Lindström & Ståhl, 2020). Creating a bright future becomes less daunting when we realise we are not the only ones with the necessary skills and abilities.…”

Many people in the Western world are estranged from the more-than-human world, which negatively impacts their health and well-being. This article investigates the effect of forest bathing as an intervention on how designers and other citizens can reconnect with nature. Walking, talking, and sitting spot practices are not only research methods that help to understand the histories and interdependencies of a landscape and contribute to society and science, but can also be used as mental health promotion tools to generate self-care, especially when dealing with the experience of wounds through the inner and outer landscapes in which we engage. This article is based on an extensive review of a multidisciplinary body of literature. Although mainly conceptual, this article is empirically informed and illustrated by my experiences in Japan. By sharing an autoethnography of experiencing a Japanese landscape through five walks along the same trail over 1.5 years while exploring the deepening journey into the forest bathing practice, this article illustrates the opportunities and benefits of deploying forest bathing in landscape architecture and other regional and urban planning interventions. It also examines the concept of self-care and environmental citizenship and how they emerge in the forest bathing practice.

“…On the one hand, that might mean thinking about building new orders in the world's aftermaths: working with the conditions at hand and without the expectation of solutions (Tsing, 2017). On the other, reparation might also mean un-making damaging systems through design for decline (Tonkinwise, 2019;Lindström and Ståhl, 2020).…”

Under what technoscientific conditions might the scarcity of food be understood as contingent on heterogeneous actors? And the possibilities of food abundance be approached as a reparative project of valuing their manifold relations? Blockchain promises to be an infrastructure that presents both productive imaginaries and also challenges to such restorative and sustainable work (Seidler et al 2017;Rozas et al, 2018).In a series of workshops, we critically experimented with these possibilities and challenges. Working with diverse participants including community growers, organisers, artists, and technologists we used a variety of playful methods to act out fictional scenarios set in 2025, when all of London had been transformed into a city farm. For organisations and participants, reparation meant working in the aftermath of social and environmental collapse to bring into being more-than-human-value systems that radically decentred human knowledge and experience.

“…As Fry (2009) says, it is urgent to stop the tendency to create futures without a future in which the products, technologies and services that design creates are not materially or ethically aligned with the fragility of the Planet. Various scholars (Fry, 2009;Bonnet et al, 2019;Latour, 2020;Lindström & Ståhl, 2020;DiSalvo, 2022) have insisted on the need to reorient our actions towards a policy of dismantling. In other words, this design is no longer solely concerned with encouraging new innovation or products, but is rather committed to experiencing practices of unmaking and deceleration that contribute to decreasing the human footprint on the Planet.…”

This article is part of the discussion about what to do with regard to the Anthropocene and how to project design in a direction oriented towards caring for the Planet. Overcoming the environmental crisis implied by the notion of Anthropocene involves questioning or, rather, redesigning the culture of design in terms of its ontological, methodological, and ethical suppositions. Specifically, this article proposes analytic displacements in order to problematize the hegemonic paradigm of user-centered design, opening the discussion up to other ways of being and world-making. To that end, we focus on the question of how to deploy planet-oriented design. We develop four points: bringing design down to Earth, situating design, decelerating design and intersectionalities in design. This article is meant to contribute to expanding this research agenda of design for transitions, focusing on the need for design that fosters more careful and ethical cohabitation on a damaged Planet.
