Post rational approaches in design

Activity: External talk or presentation › Oral presentation

Description

Tom Ainsworth and Sally Sutherland presented a conversation and short film about moving towards post-rational approaches to design at the Wicked possibilities webinar. This is a provocation for discourse.

Ainsworth and Sutherland argue that shifting towards and recognising post-rational modes of design could open up possibilities when working with wicked challenges. They believe that this will help push new insights and new practices that benefit economic, ecological, political and social systems. Post-rational design embraces plurality, multiple relationalities, multi-sensoriality as fundamental components of relational practice.
