Now open. RSD11 Call for contributions that challenge, extend, critique, and diversify established working methods in systemic design.
This article invites you to follow the RSD posting protocols and provides a detailed description of the basics to consider when preparing your submission.
Authors are invited to identify their paper or presentation as aligned to one of seven specific focus sessions. These have been developed as provocations for critical reflection, new topics, and different directions.
Presenting at RSD has many benefits and RSDsymposium.org is a compendium of contributions from people working at the forefront of systemic design. Here’s how it works.
RSD is off to the shores of Brighton in 2022. The University of Brighton’s School of Architecture, Technology and Engineering is the RSD11 host.
As designers look to address systemic challenges, they must wrestle with tensions and conflicting requirements within their practices and the situations they seek to change. Systemic questions cannot be approached one at a time in isolation. Yet, it is inevitable that design is partial in its engagements – to address everything is implausible or uncritical to implicit boundary judgements and the privileges of dominant perspectives. Unpredictable interdependencies require a cautious approach, yet incremental strategies risk entrenching underlying errors and injustices by making the status quo more palatable. Profound, long-term changes are needed, but the urgency of the present also demands immediately achievable actions. At RSD11, we look to expand further systemic design’s modes of working:
