RSD12-Bogotá Context
RSD12 está listo para recibir contribuciones de artículos completos y presentaciones (artículos cortos) en español.
Design research is well-known to product designers, graphic designers, industrial designers, architects, interaction designers, and UX/UI designers. It is complementary to systemic design—which offers collaborative frameworks, interdisciplinary approaches, and eco-social perspectives for design research (Vacca, 2022)—and supports studying and understanding complex, interconnected challenges embedded within social, cultural, economic, and environmental systems. Systemic design also deeply involves stakeholders from the studied system and, more recently, post-anthropocentric thinking, inclusive of non-living nature and artificial intelligence or robots (Davidová, 2022).

FOCUS: design research & systemic design in Latin America
The RSD12 call for contributions is now open and accepting submissions for papers, online workshops, and exhibits related to “design research” and “systemic design in Latin America.”
Contributions to this focus area address the interconnectedness of design research and systemic design. Submissions that feature design research and developments in systemic design in Latin America are especially encouraged. Papers, presentations, workshops, and systems maps or exhibits might include some of the following aspects of design research in systemic design.
- Problem framing: research and mapping to deeply understand the problem context and its systemic nature.
- Systems analysis: systems thinking tools, mapping techniques, and modelling approaches to gain insights into the system’s complexity and interdependencies.
- Data collection and analysis: content analysis, thematic analysis, and statistical analysis, among others.
- Design intervention development: generating and evaluating multiple design options, prototyping and testing interventions, and refining them based on feedback and iterative design processes.
- Implementation and evaluation: monitoring and evaluating the outcomes and impacts of the interventions and feedback and results.
- Knowledge sharing and design education: creating awareness, disseminating knowledge, and influencing policy or decision-making processes.

About the Organisers
The Master of Design is a programme of UNAL’s Faculty of Arts. The programme focuses on the investigative capacity of design to generate knowledge and the exploration of design as a fundamental instrument for innovation.
Juan Alfonso de la Rosa Munar is an Associate Professor at the School of Graphic Design. He is a specialist in multimedia design with an emphasis on interaction and information design. He holds a Master’s Degree in Multimedia Design, with a thesis presented on the philosophical effects of the insertion of new media and the digital in the object of study of design disciplines. He is currently pursuing PhD in design studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
