Abstract

Systemic design integrates systems thinking and theory with advanced design methods in an evolving interdisciplinary field to effect anticipatory change in complex social, sociotechnical, and social systems. Systemic design (or systems-oriented design) differs from the commonly designated systems design in that systemic design is a design field (systemic as the modifier of design) and systems design is the design of systems as objects, a practice developed through systems engineering. While systemic design can be simplistically defined as the application of systems approaches to advanced design problems, the field has taken shape as an advanced design discipline, embracing architecture, planning, and social research as critical adjacent practices for its applications. Systemic design studies reveal an overarching scientific philosophy of pragmatism, embracing multiple perspectives to describe a system and its problems and structures.
