Design Practice, Theory, and Methods | Systemic Design & Systems Thinking Trends
Virtual Chalet session, 4 January 2022
The “virtual chalet” is a recurring informal event (once every 2 weeks) for the Design & Critical Thinking community to take the space & time to discuss, share ideas & experiences, find support, ask questions, etc.
This week we discuss design practice (and practising design) and the misunderstanding around the importance of methods, the importance of context, the trends around Systemic Design and Systems Thinking, the Design Council’s report on systemic design, and many more… 🌟
