Systemic Design Practice

SDA supports the movement toward pragmatic systemic design practice development, applying the learning from the RSD Symposia to preferred methods and guidelines.

RSD11 proceedings

We are very pleased and proud to announce the official launch of Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design, RSD11. The whole RSD11 experience—submissions and reviews, RSDX and the University of Brighton event, and producing the proceedings—was a brilliant experience that’s advanced systemic design and the RSDsymposium.org repository.

Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium

The RSD symposia series was partly initiated in 2012 as a response to the dearth of scholarship and direction in the development of design theory and practice in complex systems.

Tools and Toolkits

SDA considers and reviews tools submitted by members and posts them for the larger community. All posted practitioner tools are created or derived from systemic design research.

Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal

As the field has grown to become a disciplinary discourse, the SDA launched the first journal dedicated to systemic design.

Practice Partners

SDA’s practice partners put systemic design to work in architecture and planning, economics and organisations, health and well-being, policy and governance, socioecological design, and sociotechnical systems.
