Promotional image for 'Symphony of the Everyday—Sunset Sonata,' an interactive public art installation presented at RSD13 (Relating Systems Thinking and Design conference) in 2024. The image shows a silhouetted figure in profile against a golden sunset sky, appearing to be in a contemplative pose within what looks like a curved architectural space or tunnel. The RSD13 logo appears in the upper left corner featuring a colorful, organic tree-like design. The installation title is displayed in bold white text at the bottom of the image.

I am happy to announce that the open access proceedings volume with selected contributions to the 2024 Architecture Across Boundaries conference has been published. The Systemic Approaches to Architectural Design section in the volume originates from the conference track of the same title. I am glad to have had the opportunity to create this track. Thanks to my colleagues for editing the volume.

The image shows a promotional poster for a conference or academic event titled "POM PERTH 2025" with the subtitle "Politics of the Machines Synthetic Sentience." The background features a dark blue technological or mechanical texture with glowing yellow/gold elements that appear to be circuit-like or mechanical components. The poster indicates this is "Track 01" titled "Grammars, Taxonomies, and Logics for More-Than-Human-Ecologies." At the bottom, there's a notice stating "Submit your abstract by 29 March 2025" along with what appears to be the POM logo in white at the bottom left corner. The overall aesthetic combines technology and machinery themes with an academic focus on the politics of artificial intelligence, synthetic sentience, and post-human ecological frameworks.

Merci à mes homologues Designers de m'avoir si bien accueilli lors de la conférence d'UX Republique à Lyon.

C'était un jeu d'équilibriste entre le discours déprimant d'un futur incertain et le besoin de se mettre en action pour retrouver du sens dans notre discipline.

Questions to reflect on for 2024:

How can you express care for your loved ones?

How can you connect with love and kindness with others who don't share your point of view?

How can you help to build systems that resist competition and promote compassion?

What actions are you taking to build a more compassionate world?

#systemicdesign folks,
RSD is looking for contributions (speakers, workshops, etc.) for their upcoming symposium. I've taken part in a few as a speaker and participant and they've all been interesting affairs. It's worth checking out if #systemsthinking and #design are your cups of tea. #systems #complexity

For my Design for Society (systemic design / complexity) studio at IDE TU Delft I am looking for examples of solutions/initiatives/products/services/etc that were implemented with all the best intentions and thorough development but that had dramatic effects in a completely different area.

We need cooperative alternatives to competitive #GunRights (mental health/redflag/policing/prevention/?) or we'll never achieve competency within our #architectures for minimizing #GunViolence
