Abstract
We have joined two issues of FORMakademisk to accommodate two sets of articles developed from remarkable early work presented at the 2013 Relating Systems Thinking to Design Symposium in Oslo. We organized these papers into a theory set, and a set for practice of systemic design, although most of these theoretical works are deeply informed by design and planning practices. The theory issue, Theoretical Evolution in Systemic Design, comprises the perspectives of scholars contributing new work crossing the former boundaries between systems theory and design thinking.
Highlights
These papers are viewed as theoretical primarily due to their strong basis in systems science or human system theories that inform design practices in a generalizable way
Systemic design is uniquely distinguished by its co-evolution with systems theory, which connects a deep well of scientific principles, epistemologies, and interpretive methods to design thinking
While design theory has been inspired by cognitive psychology, behavioural economics, and organizational studies, we have little agreement toward producing a canon of essential design theories
Summary
These papers are viewed as theoretical primarily due to their strong basis in systems science or human system theories that inform design practices in a generalizable way. Systemic design is uniquely distinguished by its co-evolution with systems theory, which connects a deep well of scientific principles, epistemologies, and interpretive methods to design thinking. Design does not follow the scientific approach to methods as found in systems practice, based in bio, eco, and human sciences and developed over years of peer review and action research.
