Tools for navigating today's hyper-connected, rapidly changing, and radically contingent white water world.Design Unbound presents a new tool set for having agency in the twenty-first century, in what the authors characterize as a white water world--rapidly changing, hyperconnected, and radically contingent. These are the tools of a new kind of practice that is the offspring of complexity science, which gives us a new lens through which to view the world as entangled and emerging, and architecture, which is about designing contexts. In such a practice, design, unbound from its material thingness, is set free to design contexts as complex systems.In a world where causality is systemic, entangled, in flux, and often elusive, we cannot design for absolute outcomes. Instead, we need to design for emergence. Design Unbound not only makes this case through theory but also presents a set of tools to do so. With case studies that range from a new kind of university to organizational, and even societal, transformation, Design Unbound draws from a vast array of domains: architecture, science and technology, philosophy, cinema, music, literature and poetry, even the military. It is presented in five books, bound as two volumes. Different books within the larger system of books will resonate with different reading audiences, from architects to people reconceiving higher education to the public policy or defense and intelligence communities. The authors provide different entry points allowing readers to navigate their own pathways through the system of books.

As everyday tasks grow more confusing, and as social and global problems grow more complex, the information designer's role in bringing clarity has reached a new level of importance. In order to have a positive impact, they must go beyond conventional approaches to uncover real needs, make insightful connections, and develop effective solutions. Information Design Unbound provides a clear, engaging introduction to the field, and prepares students to be strategic thinkers and visual problem solvers who can confidently make sense in a changing world. Sheila Pontis and Michael Babwahsingh present a holistic view of information design, synthesizing decades of research, cross-disciplinary knowledge, and emerging practices. The book opens by laying a foundation in the field, first painting the bigger picture of what it is and how it originated, before explaining the scientific and cultural dimensions of how people perceive and understand visual information. A discussion of professional practices, ethical considerations, and the expanding scale of challenges sheds light on the day-to-day work of information designers today. Detailed chapters then delve into the four areas that are integral to all types of information design work: visual thinking, research, sensemaking, and design. The final section of the book puts everything together, with detailed project walk-throughs in areas such as icon design, instructions, wayfinding, organizational strategy, and healthcare system change. Written and designed with students' needs in mind, this book brings information design fundamentals to life: exercises allow students to put lessons directly into practice, case studies demonstrate how information designers think and work, and generous illustrations clarify concepts in a visually engaging way. Information Design Unbound helps beginning designers build the mindset and skillset to navigate visual communication challenges wherever they may arise.

Pragmatic Imagination is a small book that presents a valuable resource for navigating our broadly connected, rapidly changing, and radically contingent world. It begins from an assumption that agency in the world today requires a productive entanglement of imagination and action. It then presents a framework for unpacking the imagination as a wide range of mental activity that can be put to purpose in this world. This is the Pragmatic Imagination: a concept and framework of six principles.This book is the last chapter of a larger work. It is both parent and child of a soon to be published five-book system of books called Design Unbound: Designing for Emergence in a White Water World, which provides a tool set for agency and impact in our world today. Like a single released before an album, this previews the larger work, introducing concepts and themes that both anticipate and encapsulate the larger project. But also like a single, it can stand along because of the way in which it anticipates and encapsulates the larger project with a singular coherence.

Design has always been a visionary pursuit and a visionary practice - one that projects the future while remaining deeply grounded in the past and the present. Design is also a socio-cultural practice. The link between vision as a mental activity - imagining a future - and its accomplishment in the world - the building of the imagined future - is design. Design's principal focus is the making of things, whether material entities, virtually produced material entities, or fully virtual entities. Because design's principal enterprise is the making of things that operate in the world - a world unfolding - design is an agent of the future. Design as a literacy is a way of envisioning, thinking and acting simultaneously in the world and is, therefore, applicable to any discipline, field or profession. It has the capacity to catalyze innovations in one's own field, and as a platform, it has the capacity to catalyze distinctive innovation across many fields. We believe it is an essential literacy for the re-calibration of our educational system if we want to prepare our students to both thrive and have agency in their future.Beyond design for making things (good design = beautiful useful things), and design for innovation (good design = distinctly new beautiful and useful things), design shapes contexts for things to happen. Design is a foundational way for encountering, seeing, understanding, and operating in the material world. It absorbs the complexity of the world because it vigorously pursues the relationship between things and the contexts in which they are embedded. These contexts are complex and they are socio-technological in nature. The way we use things is integrally linked to why we use them. But design is also a powerful tool for working on the world as well as in it. Design has a capacity to make things that resonate. Resonance means that there is a strong relationship of exchange. Resonating in the world can lead to change on the world.This book was begun as a quest to decode the DNA of design so as to advance a discussion of design and design literacy in much broader terms. But it was also begun with a strong suspicion that a clearer understanding of this DNA might allow us to think about design in an expanded way and for expanded purpose in an increasingly complex world. Believing that design has a greater role to play than ever before, we set out to figure out how. We looked at examples where design has gone beyond making things for purpose and meaning to actually facilitating processes of transformation through systems of action that work on changing the context itself. In these examples certain characteristics of the DNA have been amplified and the dynamics between characteristics have been altered.Writing from the perspectives of an architect and of an innovation orchestrator, this book consists of thoughts and conversations between the authors. These conversations are presented as frames for further exchange, exploration, and experimentation. Rather than 'hard science', these are a multi-faceted set of related thoughts and ideas, intended to recalibrate the conversation around design in a manner that recognizes existing voices but adds a different set of perspectives. And finally, while meaning to be speculative, this book also intends to contribute at a pragmatic level by suggesting pathways into thinking, creating, and acting so as to affect change in complex contexts and systems. Acting is critical. Acting creates change, which can then be critically assessed relative to the impact and resonance of intended and unintended consequences.

Reimagining Adult Education As World Building written by Aliki Nicolaides and has been published by Taylor & Francis this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2024-03-18 with Education categories.

Reimagining Adult Education as World Building offers a new way of thinking about adult education by re-envisaging how adult education works. It explores how the process of world building, or the invention of a new world or a set of concepts, can be translated into actual and feasible action when turning towards complex, real-life problems. Cultivating contexts where adult educators can become change agents, who recognize that the individual and community are intricately entangled, demands that educators grow new capacities, make new tools, develop thicker networks, and cultivate intentional links amongst each other to foster ecologies of transformation. This book shows how educators can create an ecology or environment for transformative thinking where students can learn to collaborate and use world building tools to create new responses to current issues. It begins by explaining the philosophical underpinnings of world building and the tools that translate pragmatic imagination into scaffolds for individual and collective capacity building. It also illustrates how the worldbuilding protocol makes a difference in adult learning and how this pedagogical tool introduces the ecological approach to adult education. Each chapter explores a practical case study, showing how learners have applied worldbuilding tools to complex challenges. Showing how to apply the world building protocol in a classroom setting, this edited collection will be valuable to Adult Education scholars, researchers, practitioners, and learning facilitators.

Since 1995 Hubert Le Gall has been creating poetic and functional pieces which look afresh at and give a new meaning to furniture and decorative art. His vision is fanciful, the shapes he produsces are generous, the materials he uses precious. This catalogue retraces the artist's creative process with works which are today considered to be "classics": the famous Marguerite tables, the Flower chests of drawers, as well as more recent pieces which are, as always, inspired by the art and the society of his times.--Back cover.
