Design Studio 3: Systems of Design
In the past, designers worked mostly with industries to help produce ""things"". More recently, our societies have become larger and more complex; so we not only work with things, but also with places, people, events and interactions between relationships. These relationships and their outcomes are called systems.
Designers observe and analyze those systems; after that, we modify and create them, and then explain and present them to other people. Systems are present today in most design approaches, especially in areas like social practice and service design, identity and interactive projects, and in design for ecological or environmental sustainability. While designing, we add or create a system to make it work with other systems. Knowing how to see and map a system can help us analyze situations of a problem and generate more effective, impactful and enjoyable design responses. A multisystem map can be a useful tool to visualize, model; as well as discuss and share with project partners and interested people.
