RSD12 Symposium: Entangled in Emergence
Entangling and unravelling are complementary processes. Even the deepest entanglements eventually unravel, and every unravelling is an opportunity for new entanglements to emerge.

RSD12 Concept—2023
Save the date. RSD12 is envisioned as a two-week programme, excluding weekends. The Georgetown proposal is a multi-event symposia concept, connecting systemic design hubs around the world in a sequence of in-person, online, and hybrid sessions. Hub symposia are augmented by a four-hour online program dedicated to full papers and emergent programming.

It’s time to finalise RSD11 proceedings
After a brief hiatus, it’s time to finalise RSD11 proceedings. As an RSD editor, I feel incredibly grateful to be able to revisit and review this work.
In memoriam: Klaus Krippendorff
If designers are willing to articulate their mission of creating artifacts that do not already exist, they should find evidence for unused possibilities, not data from yesterday.
In memoriam: Tom Snow
“… ecological design also includes the careful meshing of human purposes with the larger patterns and flows of the natural world”

Top Ten in Systemic Design
Unlike RSD’s peer-review process, the Top Ten for Ten is a listicle that’s based on a simple criterion: the sheer number of RSD contributions. You will likely recognise the top ten names because of their sustained commitment and dedication to establishing systemic design in academe and design practice.
