Convening and Co-evolving Systemic Design

The SDA was formed to convene educators, practitioners, and researchers to co-evolve an interdisciplinary field over the long term.

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.

A growing base of research

The field emerging as systemic design has jumped ahead to engage societal issues now recognised as ever more important for designers to address, ranging from design for health and well-being, quality of life, socioeconomics, urbanization, policy design, and cultural development.

Resources

The featured resources are uniquely associated with their launch or development at RSD symposia and have continued in development for research, teaching, and training.

Featured books

Recent and upcoming books in systemic design and from SDA authors are featured.

Academic programs
