In this talk we will explore the concept of Design for Diversity, a philosophy for design thinking that is founded on the scientific principle of bioplasticity. The concept derived from latest scientific understanding in the fields of evolutionary biology, epigenetics and neuroscientific understanding about the plasticity that is inherent to living biology. Bioplasticity tells us to expect diversity in all directions, in all shapes and forms; it tells us to acknowledge and embrace the reality of diversity, to see diversity as the norm and not as exceptions. Therefore, the philosophy of Design for Diversity that is founded on the principle of bioplasticity, tells us to anticipate and incorporate, from the inception of the design process,  diversity of needs of diverse living beings that inhabit the planet. Thus, Design for Diversity, is a model of design thinking that not only has much stronger and wider motivation as social imperatives for inclusion.
