keynote –seeing RSD11's seven foci relationally
Tony Fry – Seeing RSD11’s Seven Foci Relationally – My context: seeing the event’s seven foci relationally. Planetary life is sick, this sickness is a product, one produced by rogue systems that are undercutting life’s dwelling, with design complicit and failing to confront designing-in-time. Thus the story to tell is eternal, and is of holding foreshortened, but destined, oblivion at bay.

keynote – contradictions of sustainability
This talk, On the Contradictions of Sustainability, will explore the contradictions of sustainability: the way brands greenwash their practices to signal their good and ethical practices, and how they continue to create products and services branded as sustainable that we just do not need, but never challenging the systems that created the problems to begin with. The talk will conclude by considering how we can design over time and confront the effects these products and services we think we need have on the world (and the worlds within that world).

Note: those not able to attend the Studios are still most welcome to participate in Act III.
panel: more-than-human perspectives
Cultural Environments with More-than-Human Perspectives The panel will discuss the transition towards post-Anthropocene, where humans and other beings live together in synergy. These other beings are other than the human species, non-living nature, or individuals such as Artificial Intelligence or robots. We will speculate on how we can transform our cities into synergy with the above-discussed beings.

Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino is Chief Design Officer at The Design Council, the UK’s national strategic advisor for design, championing design and its ability to make life better for all. The Design for Planet mission was introduced in 2021 to galvanise and support the 1.97 million people who work in the UK’s design economy to help achieve net zero and beyond. Design for Planet Festival 2021 brought together 120 sustainable design leaders and 6,000 online attendees and was awarded Gold in the GOV Design Awards 2022. The 2022 Festival is November 8 & 9 – registration is open to all.
On behalf of The Design Council, Alexandra was interested in RSD11 and how we might transfer the knowledge gained by bringing together such a massive group of people working in systemic design. The discussants represent academic and non-academic design and offer perspectives drawn from their involvement in the focus areas of the conference. In addition to key takeaways, the roundtable will consider questions that have emerged from the symposium and highlight standout and outlier ideas.
The Design Council is an independent and not-for-profit organisation incorporated by Royal Charter. The Design Council uniquely works across all design sectors and delivers programmes with business, government, public bodies and the third sector. The work encompasses thought leadership, tools and resources, showcasing excellence, and research to evidence the value of design and influence policy.
