Title:
Cybernetic Design
Abstract:
Cybernetics involves the governing of systems and frameworks, producing a more dynamic form of design thinking. All design activities are positioned against social contexts that rely on circular, feedback loops and mechanisms to reinforce design effectiveness. Cybernetics involves the conversational nature of design, requiring grounded approaches and constructivist perspectives in research. Referencing insights and anecdotes from personal conversations with the late Ranulph Glanville, this talk will review the role of cybernetics as a necessary precondition to understanding all wicked and ill-informed design problems through a new way of thinking about design. Examples of “cybernetic conversations” will be illustrated with design models, practical applications, and theoretical implications for the future of design and systems thinking.
Bio:
Harah Chon is a Korean-American design practitioner, researcher and educator. She is currently Lecturer-in-Charge of the MA Design Programme at LASALLE College of the Arts, within the School of Design Communication. Harah holds a PhD in Design Epistemology, through which she examined the ontological structures of knowledge representation to produce a culture-based taxonomy of design knowledge. The research framework of her PhD thesis was published as a book chapter in “Routledge Companion to Design Research.” Her current research activities focus on design theory and philosophy across the themes of collaborative design frameworks, disruptive approaches to interdisciplinary design, intangible culture and heritage, and knowledge transference. She advocates the furthering of discourses on design and cultural sustainability, social design, and design knowledge.
