Buddhism and design. From the analysis of spiritual principles to the conceptual foundations of design

Abstract

Buddhism influence in the west has been increasing significantly. Every day, there are more and more people who in one way or another introduce precepts, judgments, beliefs and traditions from the Buddhism to their daily activities, businesses and inner search. A very detail analysis of the characteristics of this religion and its different levels and contexts generates an intellectual, spiritual and aesthetic revolution. The teachings of Buddha and the influential concepts of Buddhist philosophy can be adopted in depth, from the foundations and modern trends of design. This is the primary objective of this work.
