A running list of questions and answers related to the call for contributions.
What’s going on with the graphics? Why the Memphis-Milano movement seemed appropriate as inspiration for RSD12.
Considering entanglements in our everyday lives, different views of entanglements, and why we chose them for RSD12.
RSD12-Toronto is a pilot for SDA-Toronto and an opportunity to gauge interest in a collaborative network engaged in building the systemic design community.
Entangling and unravelling are complementary processes. Even the deepest entanglements eventually unravel, and every unravelling is an opportunity for new entanglements to emerge.
The RSD12 call for contributions includes papers, interactive sessions, workshops, and panels.
The distribution of hubs is a unique opportunity to show the climate stripes as a reminder that sustainability is core to systemic design.

Please consider answering this very brief survey and sharing your thoughts about RSD.
Save the date. RSD12 is envisioned as a two-week programme, excluding weekends. The Georgetown proposal is a multi-event symposia concept, connecting systemic design hubs around the world in a sequence of in-person, online, and hybrid sessions. Hub symposia are augmented by a four-hour online program dedicated to full papers and emergent programming.
The Systemic Design Association and Georgetown University are ready to receive Expressions of Interest from partner organizations to host one or multiple days of RSD12 as part of the collaborative hub model envisioned for October 2023. Please submit your EoI before March 1, 2023.
RSD12 organising institution announced—Georgetown University, USA. This year, the RSD12 hub model invites multiple hosts to submit interest in presenting their chosen themes.
I want to take this opportunity to make a special wish for the new year that we continue to connect people with design and build a future of peace and friendship. The future is now, and we are responsible for designing a better world.
This year’s RSD contributions were dedicated to exploring possibilities for systemic design. A call went out to question systemic design’s emerging shape, and the growing, remarkably interdisciplinary systemic design community responded.
After a brief hiatus, it’s time to finalise RSD11 proceedings. As an RSD editor, I feel incredibly grateful to be able to revisit and review this work.
We’ve had a huge learning year and good results for the systemic design publication. Volume 1 will feature papers from authors Harold Nelson, Elena Porqueddu, Dulmini Perera and Tony Fry.
If designers are willing to articulate their mission of creating artifacts that do not already exist, they should find evidence for unused possibilities, not data from yesterday.

As RSD moves into its second decade, it is possible to question systemic design’s emerging shape.
Here’s what you need to know about RSD11 and the iconic city of Brighton & Hove, an inclusive, free-thinking city in the heart of Sussex.
The RSD11 programme includes keynote speakers, paper tracks (papers & presentations), activity sessions, workshops, and exhibits. Most will be available both online and in-person.
RSD11 was made possible by the efforts of dedicated committee members, peer reviewers, and the incredible team at Southcoast Events, Ironworks Studio, and the University of Brighton.
