You talked 1067 00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,800 about ontological designing and autonomous design converging 1068 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,100 together and idea of things as ongoing movements 1069 00:53:33,100 --> 00:53:36,400 and yesterday in the Bates and 1070 00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:39,500 dialogue that we had here. It also came up this idea of moving 1071 00:53:39,500 --> 00:53:42,500 from design as something that predetermines and ends 1072 00:53:42,500 --> 00:53:46,300 to support the kind of more open-ended ongoing transforming 1073 00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:46,700 process. 1074 00:53:47,700 --> 00:53:50,000 So and you also talked about you know, 1075 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,600 buildings that exist for 5,000 years or 4,000 1076 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,800 years. And in that how do we differentiate ourselves 1077 00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,200 in this ongoing movement? What 1078 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,800 should be stable and what should be 1079 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,500 dynamic and adaptive in our designing 1080 00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:08,500 process? And I one of the the points that 1081 00:54:08,500 --> 00:54:11,800 I think about is Italian physicist Carlo raveli. 1082 00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,100 He talks about everything as interaction and he has 1083 00:54:14,100 --> 00:54:17,800 a very poetic saying that a rock is like a kiss and I'd 1084 00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:20,000 love that because it helps us think even the things 1085 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:24,200 that are really stable are just kind of temporary coming together happenings, 1086 00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,100 even these buildings. So in that 1087 00:54:26,100 --> 00:54:29,600 how do we think about what we do as designing and 1088 00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:30,500 how we're conf? 1089 00:54:30,900 --> 00:54:33,300 however temporarily and what should be 1090 00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:37,600 long-term and what do we work toward in that longevity versus 1091 00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:39,200 leaving open?

We used 1418 01:11:01,100 --> 01:11:02,000 to be reanimated. 1419 01:11:03,700 --> 01:11:06,400 And seen as a path of action 1420 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:10,000 seeing as something that has agency that 1421 01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:12,100 has the possibility. 1422 01:11:13,300 --> 01:11:13,700 of change 1423 01:11:15,900 --> 01:11:18,700 so I wrote a story of relocating. 1424 01:11:19,700 --> 01:11:22,800 A city in crisis. It was a 1425 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:23,100 story of 1426 01:11:24,300 --> 01:11:27,800 35,000 words in a book on design right in 1427 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:28,400 design fictions 1428 01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:31,800 But it is an instructive story. 1429 01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,100 You know, it came out of the experience of working 1430 01:11:35,100 --> 01:11:36,400 on. 1431 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:38,600 relocating cities 1432 01:11:39,500 --> 01:11:42,300 in 2008. I worked on the 1433 01:11:42,300 --> 01:11:45,400 relocation of a city in Northern Sweden. 1434 01:11:48,100 --> 01:11:49,500 so that there is 1435 01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,100 as a were tangible knowledge. 1436 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:53,800 in that story 1437 01:11:55,700 --> 01:11:58,200 So the stories aren't a digression from learning. 1438 01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,400 They are in their construction a way 1439 01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:02,600 of learning. 1440 01:12:03,500 --> 01:12:06,500 And a way of the transmission of learning. 1441 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,400 so, you know, that's just a little bit of a 1442 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,400 response to the question you asked but there are things 1443 01:12:15,700 --> 01:12:17,800 that can be done that need to be done. 1444 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,200 But it requires stepping outside of the 1445 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:22,800 familiar. 1446 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,800 Okay, fantastic. So we've got six questions 1447 01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,700 lined up. So the 1448 01:12:32,700 --> 01:12:35,500 first of those is with Peter, we've got 1449 01:12:35,500 --> 01:12:38,300 one online one up here and then we'll 1450 01:12:38,300 --> 01:12:41,600 come across to this side of the room in this too so 1451 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,600 far over here so first 1452 01:12:45,100 --> 01:12:45,500 Okay. 1453 01:12:46,500 --> 01:12:49,100 Thank you for so. I didn't 1454 01:12:49,100 --> 01:12:52,100 hear any of the oh, well, there are six questions lined up. 1455 01:12:52,100 --> 01:12:55,400 I guess I'm I'm next Peter Jones. Thank you 1456 01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,100 for inspiring. 1457 01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,300 Um talk about our own Futures and 1458 01:13:01,300 --> 01:13:04,500 and helping us recognize the 1459 01:13:04,500 --> 01:13:07,400 responsibility of the designer which reminds 1460 01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,600 me of of chomsky's responsibility of 1461 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:14,300 the intellectual the points of serious relationship to 1462 01:13:13,300 --> 01:13:17,300 the Future. So what what I 1463 01:13:17,300 --> 01:13:21,400 well my question is about is in reconfiguring 1464 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,400 the designer as an autonomous 1465 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:24,500 designer that 1466 01:13:26,100 --> 01:13:30,000 What can we now choose our purposes for design? 1467 01:13:29,300 --> 01:13:32,200 That is I I I've been 1468 01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:35,600 working for the last five years. My practice is moved as 1469 01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,200 we've been learning more about systemic design and 1470 01:13:38,200 --> 01:13:41,400 creating different practices. Not just 1471 01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:44,700 research groups than universities but practices 1472 01:13:44,700 --> 01:13:47,500 that are that are working with the 1473 01:13:47,500 --> 01:13:50,700 principles and methods and systemic design. 1474 01:13:50,700 --> 01:13:54,500 We have to now convince out of 1475 01:13:54,500 --> 01:13:58,200 Market. This is a different approach to designing with 1476 01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:01,500 completely different clients to follow up from I think the other 1477 01:14:01,500 --> 01:14:01,800 question 1478 01:14:02,700 --> 01:14:05,200 I don't say this is autonomous in 1479 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,400 my sense. But as a following a different being of 1480 01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:12,500 service to a different ontological context 1481 01:14:12,500 --> 01:14:15,300 if you will, so it's working with systems, but those 1482 01:14:15,300 --> 01:14:18,500 systems are are social systems. 1483 01:14:18,500 --> 01:14:21,000 So municipalities, for example climate change 1484 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:24,200 planning with municipalities where I'm part of 1485 01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,300 a team. I'm not the lead. I might 1486 01:14:27,300 --> 01:14:30,500 be called the lead designer, but I'm not designing the 1487 01:14:30,500 --> 01:14:34,000 you know, I'm part of it design part of 1488 01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:36,000 a team in which design is now part of 1489 01:14:36,500 --> 01:14:40,100 part of that group. We're working with seafood sustainability across 1490 01:14:39,100 --> 01:14:42,300 an industry Group, which has hundreds of 1491 01:14:42,300 --> 01:14:46,100 ngos and Industry players including Walmart. That is 1492 01:14:46,100 --> 01:14:49,800 a very slow process. Right? So the the 1493 01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,600 type of temporality in which a design practice is 1494 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,800 used to working in which we conduct workshops 1495 01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,800 create artifacts have different visual outputs 1496 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:01,300 in sustainable Seafood. This might 1497 01:15:01,300 --> 01:15:01,800 take years. 1498 01:15:02,700 --> 01:15:05,500 With a bioregional context so 1499 01:15:05,500 --> 01:15:08,100 I mean you talk about one of the farc. There are 1500 01:15:08,100 --> 01:15:11,400 a number we've been working with Costa Rica with South Devon 1501 01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:14,800 fiber shed with economic projects 1502 01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,500 in in Canada new new 1503 01:15:17,500 --> 01:15:20,100 economics. These are we don't know 1504 01:15:20,100 --> 01:15:20,500 how 1505 01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,600 We aren't trained and not even me as a professor. You 1506 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,200 know, I never learned this in my own 1507 01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:31,100 education. So we're training students in ways 1508 01:15:30,100 --> 01:15:33,300 of Designing within groups and teams 1509 01:15:33,300 --> 01:15:36,500 and multiple stakeholder contacts where we 1510 01:15:36,500 --> 01:15:39,300 haven't learned ourselves. We're figuring this 1511 01:15:39,300 --> 01:15:40,200 out as we're going. 1512 01:15:41,100 --> 01:15:44,500 So I don't doesn't feel autonomous to me. It feels of service 1513 01:15:44,500 --> 01:15:47,300 to a different purpose to a 1514 01:15:47,300 --> 01:15:50,400 sponsor that is 1515 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:53,800 that has some has some 1516 01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,300 access to the system that we'd like 1517 01:15:56,300 --> 01:15:59,800 to change and the we isn't the designers. We 1518 01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:02,500 the we is one that I'm called to help with 1519 01:16:02,500 --> 01:16:05,500 that. I believe has some rightness has you know 1520 01:16:05,500 --> 01:16:08,500 has an ethics and ethical 1521 01:16:08,500 --> 01:16:11,400 service if you will so there this gets blended 1522 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,200 it doesn't you know, it doesn't come out as like oh, this 1523 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:17,500 will be the next project but these projects 1524 01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:20,500 really come to us and I think in in systemic 1525 01:16:20,500 --> 01:16:23,300 Design This is where we're we're trying to catch up. 1526 01:16:24,100 --> 01:16:27,400 To what we're being called to do. So do you I 1527 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,800 mean some of the projects you've described Tony are along those 1528 01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,400 lines.
