“Relating” Systems + Design
Chair: Birger Sevaldson
Co-Editors: Sevaldson and Peter Jones
The RSD3 symposium was held in Oslo, Norway and engaged over 200 participants and over 50 authors, with a much broader range of contributions across related fields of design and systemics. The 5 keynote speakers established a significant presence for the field, “relating” from both the systems and design disciplines.
The emerging renaissance of systems thinking in design responds to the increasing complexity in all challenges faced by designers, strategists, and transdisciplinary innovators. We are facing deeply entangled problematics in natural, social, economic, and political systems. Our professional and organizational worlds have become too complex for linear goal-driven management, and the solution of conventional design thinking is insufficient to address complexity across domains, scales, and networks. New thinking, new knowledge, and new forms of intervention are required to take on this web of interconnected challenges.

RSD3 – “Relating” Systems and Design
RSD3 Chairs and Editors: Birger Sevaldson and Peter Jones: The emerging renaissance of systems thinking in design responds to the increasing complexity in all challenges faced by designers, strategists, and transdisciplinary innovators.
A Systems Literacy Manifesto
RSD3 Keynote. Hugh Dubberly: We can begin to live in systems and make them our own. We can take responsibility for our world.
Life’s Work: The kinds of growth we need
RSD3 Keynote. John Thackara: A new and global ‘leave things better’ politics that affirms our codependency with the biosphere.
Self-organizing a strange attractor
RSD3 Keynote. Harold Nelson: A more tailored form will take shape through a process of self-organization—a type of dialogue that gives order and form to complex things.
Knowing and Designing
RSD3 Keynote. Ranulph Glanville: The type of outcome, the ways in which they can be judges, the implicit criteria and the ethics involved are very different for engineering and design, and I will explore these a little.
Bringing Complexity into Service Design Research
RSD3 Keynote. Daniela Sangiorgi: An increase in complexity in service innovation has motivated the introduction of meta-level frameworks in service research introducing descriptions of service systems or service eco-systems, calling for interdisciplinary efforts to work toward innovation.
