Some people write to be heard.
I write to expose the architecture.

“I don’t come to negotiate with broken systems.
I come to expose the architecture that keeps them broken.”

Join us at RSD14 for Ecologies of Knowing – a full day of (design) cybernetics – online on October 12
Check out the list of events at:
https://rsdsymposium.org/ecologies-of-knowing/
Tickets are available at very affordable prices.

The programme includes a range of cybernetic enactments considering how effects unfold in ever-expanding time and scale through a dynamic interplay of components with wholeness emerging from relationships.

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.

Politics of the Machines

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.
