Within the systemic design community, there is a large possibility of data visualization and data physicalization tools, among them we have the phylogenetic matrix called the Environmental Genetic Code (EGC) – introduced at RSD6 by Patrice Ceccarini – Systemic Design, Affordances, and Architectural Profiling, illustrated by the animation based on the 2020-2021 students diploma final projects.
View the EGC matrix video presentation.
Collective intelligence
After 15 years of practice, the pedagogical and research team will challenge the matrix through a workshop intended to outline a collective intelligence version of the EGC and more specifically to set an augmented version in prism with Embodied Computing. Like a hackathon, the aim is to collectively contribute to the co-sketching.
To facilitate an inter-trans-poly-disciplinary weaving, the workshop has five facilitators from different design or thought approaches, among which we are thrilled to see how the following can hybrid with EGC:
- Dutch layers approach (DLA) Reference 1 | Reference 2
- sEEs matrixes (derived from the DLA) Reference
- System architecture engineering Reference
- Embodied computing Reference 1 | Reference 2
- Free Thinkers (other systemic design approaches and semiotics) Reference
Participants might be PhD students, researchers or professionals. Participants complete an online form, whereby their reply will state their profile classified into interest/work/research particulars, that will determine the group they will join (Table 1). A link will be sent via email prior to the workshop.
Like “weaving the fabric” metaphor, each group produces a thread that will be intertwined with others to produce a collective work.
Nota bene: the findings will be analyzed and implemented in F. L. Rasoloniaina PhD thesis.

Group setting (5 rooms)
2nd weaving row (40 minutes)
The 5 groups, mindmaps
- The line-up (10 minutes)
- The 5 participants have 2 minutes to present their proposal.
- The group mind-maps set-up (30 minutes)
- The group work on their collective version of the Augmented ECG combining their presented inputs and/or new ideas that have emerged from the exchanges.
BREAK: 5 minutes

- Based on their disclosed respective mind-maps, they will all work on weaving and combining the ideal final collective version of the Augmented ECG.
4th weaving row (5 minutes)
Feedback
- The participants and the facilitators express what they have learnt and what they will take away from the experience.
