The workshop presents co-designed methods developed through ongoing collaboration in design and posthumanism, focusing on human and more-than-human entanglements. Through a noticing walk and critical mapping, participants work in pairs to explore seasonal environmental processes often beyond human-centered perception, using field recordings (photo, video, sound, writing, drawing). Practical exercises support experimentation and translation of these encounters, combining making and reflection to strengthen relational thinking. Emphasising trial and error over fixed outcomes, the workshop concludes with a guided feedback session and open discussion on how such eco-social design practices and perspectives can be pragmatically applied amid ecological, social, and economic challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
