Design's most distinctive cognitive contribution — abductive reasoning — remains largely confined to the studio, the workshop, the project timeline. We theorize it extensively (Kolko, Zingale, Dorst), we recognize it as the engine of design synthesis, the mechanism through which incomplete observations become structured hypotheses, through which uncertainty generates possibilities.
Yet when it comes to collective contexts — communities navigating complex territorial challenges — abduction stays trapped in episodic formats, limited by the well-known pathologies of participation: who gets to be in the room, for how long, with what resources, and whose complexity gets actually processed.This is the gap we explored in the paper presented at the Italian Design Society last June with Michele Zannoni and Flaviano Celaschi. The Systemic Relational Insight (SRI) framework, born from my doctoral research at the University of Bologna, proposes a hybrid intelligence process — community and machine — designed to scale the abductive dimension of sensemaking across broader publics, longer timeframes, and thicker layers of data and knowledge.
The core idea: integrate qualitative knowledge from situated workshops with quantitative data and scientific references, generate candidate insights and submit them to community validation (bringing scale in the formula to reach who didn't attend). An insight here is never a single statement delivered by an algorithm. It's a cluster containing multiple versions, each traceable to its genealogy of sessions, voices, and contexts, each carrying different degrees of community consensus, data support, and scientific consistency.

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.

"In an enactment of uncertainty, cybernetic technicity forms identities entangled in open futures."
My editorial to the special issue of Constructivist Foundations with selected papers from the 60th Anniversary Meeting of the American Society for Cybernetics (ASC) provides an overview of the four thematic conversations.
https://constructivist.info/20/2/067
The editorial can be accessed and downloaded for free.

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

@monkeyninja stupendous analogy, absolutely true.

@costrike #SystemicDesign I am enjoying this very much; taking notes as I go.

Interested in #systemicdesign? We're just about ready to share a draft of the Circular Design Lab's Systemic Design Guide. Let me know if you'd like to have a look.

I recently migrated to spore.social, so here's a new #intro post.
Some of my primary interests include:

ALL #systems are governed by a universal #evolutionary cycle the revolves from #competition, to #cooperation, to competent change in the system's #architecture (organizational scale), and back to competition.
We need cooperative alternatives to competitive #GunRights (mental health/redflag/policing/prevention/?) or we'll never achieve competency within our #architectures for minimizing #GunViolence

We're getting really close to having the (rough) first version of the Circular Design Lab's #SystemicDesign Guide ready to share. It's oriented towards groups and facilitators who want to run programs like ours or anyone who'd like to cull ideas from our experience. Please reach out if you'd like to have a peek when we get there.
