EPIC Ministry Design

In the discipline of design the originator creates a plan to construct something. Organic design attempts to look at the natural movement, growth patterns, and shape of organic matter in nature and creates a product to look, feel, and be experienced, as such, in nature. Ross Lovegrove, an organic designer, looks at the natural flow of organic matter and creates a functional everyday item based on the biological principles that are contained in that matter. Between 1999-2001, Lovegrove looked at the natural flow of water and created a bottle with the contours of this water flow. Lovegrove engineered a design to fit all types of hands whether large, small, or malformed. The bottle becomes the skin, which embodies the organic matter.
Human-to-human interaction, according to the metaphor, correlates to the water. A church designer implements a design methodology that will embody this natural flow of humanity in order to create a healthy environment. For example, the structure and format of a small group can encourage an environment of human transparency and authenticity through opening opportunities of conversation and accountability, versus an unnatural session of information transfer through Bible study. An organic form of design works to create a connection between flow and form.
