Tools for navigating today's hyper-connected, rapidly changing, and
radically contingent white water world. Design Unbound presents a
new tool set for having agency in the twenty-first century, in what
the authors characterize as a white water world-rapidly changing,
hyperconnected, and radically contingent. These are the tools of a
new kind of practice that is the offspring of complexity science,
which gives us a new lens through which to view the world as
entangled and emerging, and architecture, which is about designing
contexts. In such a practice, design, unbound from its material
thingness, is set free to design contexts as complex systems. In a
world where causality is systemic, entangled, in flux, and often
elusive, we cannot design for absolute outcomes. Instead, we need
to design for emergence. Design Unbound not only makes this case
through theory but also presents a set of tools to do so. With case
studies that range from a new kind of university to organizational,
and even societal, transformation, Design Unbound draws from a vast
array of domains: architecture, science and technology, philosophy,
cinema, music, literature and poetry, even the military. It is
presented in five books, bound as two volumes. Different books
within the larger system of books will resonate with different
reading audiences, from architects to people reconceiving higher
education to the public policy or defense and intelligence
communities. The authors provide different entry points allowing
readers to navigate their own pathways through the system of books.
