The relationship between people and nature is changing due to a greater awareness of the positive impact of biological factors on human performance. There is a growing desire to impregnate objects and spaces with living properties. Technology will become an ally in achieving this goal and the value of all that is “natural” will mutate so that hybrid experiences will more easily and readily be embraced. The interaction between biology and engineering will subvert the concept of nature, facilitating its introduction into daily life. Basic requirements such as re-generation, hyper-efficiency and vitality will guide future decisions. The Nature Re-Engineered trend anticipates the behaviors, values and demands that will modify our way of living and consuming in the next three years.

Being unique and different has become a mandate in today’s society. Identity is the key to achieving public attention and multiplying relationships with others in online / offline modes. However, af- firming one’s identity in front of an ever growing audience – a vast number of people who observe what we do at every moment - in a time of multiple political and social polarizations and without clear game rules in the public sphere, poses a very high risk. The danger is even greater when one’s identity is built through incessant changes (i.e. Constantly morphing) thereby creating a crisis in the social and market status quo. The Identity Morphing trend anticipates future behaviors, values and fears that will influence the process of identity construction, and will radically change the way we consume in the next three years.
