Design Dialogues is a publication of Redesign, a systemic design studio for complex research, service system design, and policy innovation. Collaborators: Peter Hayward Jones and Patricia Kambitsch (Playthink.com).
Systemic design research aspires to an understanding of whole system contexts, cycles of change, and to account for the effects on non-humans and actants in designed environments. There is no centre in systemic design research—it is not system-centred.
Two postdoctoral researcher positions open in The School of Architecture, Art and Design (EAAD) in Mexico City, with preference for locating in the city to collaborate in Dr Jones’ lab.
As systemic design has expanded to develop and publish new service design studies, transition design research, socioecological, sociocultural, eco-territorial, and even spiritually-emergent design, the boundaries between these knowledge practices are blending and rhizomically connecting.
Peter Jones describes the emerging voices, complex challenges, and inventive approaches evident in the second volume, which comprises six extraordinary articles representative of the authors’ larger, ongoing research directions.
As a knowledge weaver between the SDA and the systems societies, I often attend both the International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS) and the American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) conferences.
One of the emerging stars starting on the horizon this year has been the RSD Symposium’s post-conference series Mapping Mondays. The series covered audacious territory, with seven mapping seminars and three panel sessions.
The editorial for the inaugural volume by Editor in Chief Peter Jones and Deputy Editor Silvia Barbero. They provide a brief on the emergence of systemic design as an interdiscipline.
