Hi, I am Léo, biologist and designer. I live in a farm in the countryside of France and I travel regularly in Europe. My works revolve around autonomy, ecology and design.

Synergetic Design
is a project whose goal is to gather and share information on how to create and build a synergetic civilization: in harmony with nature and the cosmos while providing meaningfulness and contentment to humanity.

By following my work, you will have access to analyses and solutions related to synergetic design, autonomy, ecology and little known alternative technologies.

Precepts

Solutions, designed from a context to be conscientiously specified, have to respect, as much as possible, seven established criteria to be qualified as synergetic:

  • Efficiency: the energy balance of the considered solution, its level of entropy (how much it costs to produce versus how many benefits it carries) has to show a reasonable outcome, the less entropy the better.

  • Accessibility: the solutions, and the resources that are required to create them, shall be easily accessible (no rare material, no excessive prices regarding the number of people involved, no restrictive patent). Otherwise, it cannot be considered as a real solution and faces risks of unsynergetic behavior by exclusive access (too much power in too few hands).

  • Transparency: we shall know how the solutions are made in their entirety to prevent being involved unbeknownst to us in unsynergetic activities and to have the opportunity to improve these solutions as much as we want.

  • Predictability: everyone shall be able to predict as much as possible what exactly will do the solutions and how they will behave, meaning that no one shall be able to control the solutions at someone else's expense in order to prevent unexpected unsynergetic events. Unpredictable phenomena must take place as much as possible in predictable contexts (restraint in a secure environment).

  • Simplicity: the solutions have to be simple and documented in a way that the vast majority of people using them can understand how to make them work and how they work. Otherwise, it can lead to unexpected unsynergetic behavior, like having to rely on a solution that only a few people around can understand and can modify in an unsynergetic way anytime they want, without people being able to notice it.

  • Reversibility: the solutions shall be as reversible, repairable and dismountable as possible, their parts shall be reusable in other contexts. If not, they have to be as much as possible reusable by the surrounding nature in a way that no unsynergetic situation would occur. If a design is no longer needed, or desired, it should be possible to remove it.

  • Contentment: the solutions shall bring a genuine satisfying experience to the people involved by its creation and its use, the extent of this contentment being specific to each person or group of persons.
