CO-DE|GT BETA: The 21st-century economy app for cross-species co-living

Format: Papers, RSD10, Topic: Socioecological Design

Marie Davidová, Shanu Sharma, Dermott McMeel, and Fernando Loizides

This work-in-progress paper is referring to the CO-DE|GT mobile application, that is being developed in the Synergetic Landscapes unit of the Master of Architectural Design at the Welsh School of Architecture in collaboration with the School for Computer Science and Informatics at Cardiff University, UK, the School of Architecture and Planning Bhopal, India and the Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand. This app is searching for synergy across an urban ecosystem. It intends to generate a sustainable, scalable token economy, where humans and non-humans play equal roles, earning, trading and being paid for goods and services to test such potentials for future economies underpinned by blockchain. This work diverges from dominant economic models that do not recognise the performance of and the limits to material extraction from the ecosystem. As a result of such misconception, we are facing mass extinction, which necessarily leads to the collapse of such economic systems. Therefore, this work applies a systemic approach to urban environment performance for the future Post-Anthropocene communities and economies.

Keywords: systemic approach to architectural performance, mobile application, urban ecosystem, token economy,  post-Anthropocene

Publishing with RSD

Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design are published online and include the contributions for each format.

Papers and presentations are entered into a single-blind peer-review process, meaning reviewers see the authors’ names but not vice versa. Reviewers consider the quality of the proposed contribution and whether it addresses topics of interest or raises relevant issues in systemic design. The review process provides feedback and possible suggestions for modifications.

The Organising Committee reviews and assesses workshops and systems maps & exhibits with input from reviewers and the Programme Committee.

The Scholars Spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholars spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
