その他の書誌記述:This research critically analyzes the influence of anthropocentrism on Design, arguing that the centrality of the human has limited the sustainability, equity, and ecological resilience of design solutions. Through a qualitative methodology based on a systematic literature review, critical-argumentative analysis, and theoretical triangulation –drawing on Deep Ecology, Posthumanism, and Actor-Network Theory– the dominant paradigms that perpetuate this hierarchical vision are identified and deconstructed. The essay proposes a conceptual shift towards a biocentric and interspecific design, grounded in the biological bases of non-human creative thinking. Unlike conventional biomimetic approaches, it emphasizes the agency and creativity of other species as an ethical and projective foundation, thereby promoting a design practice that learns from and collaborates with natural systems. It concludes that this rethinking not only offers technical alternatives but constitutes an act of ontological decolonization, necessary for transitioning towards more just, sustainable, and resilient models of coexistence. The main contribution lies in integrating perspectives from Environmental Humanities and Bioethics to rethink design from a symbiocentric and situated framework, particularly relevant for Global South contexts.
