如果设计可以被认为是“人工的概念和规划”，那么它的范围和边界就与我们对人工的极限的理解紧密地交织在一起。在自然和人工之间的区别上不再有一致的意见，当代文化批评使得没有限制条件的提及自然变得困难。对自然的批判也努力废除任何存在，无论我们称之为上帝还是死亡的灵魂，存在于社会建构的话语框架之外。本文试图恢复灵性，因为它与一种新的自然概念相联系，这种概念不还原地抵制技术对以前被认为是自然领域的入侵，但保留了一种超越技术操纵的精神境界。这种新的灵性感觉可以解决日益复杂的自然和人造之间的关系，并为设计师的新项目提供基础。
IF DESIGN CAN BE CONSIDERED “THE CONCEPTION AND PLANNING OF the artificial,” then its scope and boundaries are intimately entwined with our understanding of the artificial’s limits. There is no longer agreement on a distinction between the natural and the artificial, and contemporary cultural critiques have made references to nature difficult without qualifications. Critiques of nature have also striven to abolish any presence, whedier we call it God or die spirit, that exists beyond the frame of a socially constructed discourse. This paper seeks to reinstate spirituality as a category diat is associated with a new conception of nature, one that does not reductively resist incursions of technology into what was formerly considered the domain of nature but which preserves a realm of the spirit that is beyond technological manipulation. This new sense of spirituality can address the increasingly complex relations between the natural and the artificial and offers the basis for a new project for designers.
