Developing a Systemic Design Research Network
Introduction
"Five keynote speakers presented a range of compelling intellectual engagements, from Don Norman’s provocations to develop a design practice capable of dealing with significant complexity, to Lia Patricio’s resonant case study and model of integration in the Portuguese health records system, to AP-J’s cutting-edge architectural models. Ursula Tischner and Mugendi M’Riitha shared leading sustainability approaches."

The SDRN
The fourth annual RSD symposium was held at the Banff Centre for Creativity and the Arts in Canada.
The symposium turned a corner – moving from Norway to North America – and enlarging the scope of papers and talks from previous years. The proceedings engaged 40 authors across a range of related fields of design and systemic. The Systemic Design Research Network (SDRN), organized as a collaborative research group, served as the RSD4 planning team.
