Colleagues, I'm very pleased by the many requests for the article in
my earlier post. In case your interest extends to complexity, I'll add
that I edited a special issue of Performance Improvement Quarterly in
2007 that contained relevant articles from Harold Nelson and Ranulph
Glanville on complexity and design. They are available online through
Wiley (see url below). Cheers, Gordon

Dear all,
I am a Phd design student and also a teaching assistant. This
is my first post to this mail group which i have been into by the
advice of my
professor, so please forgive me for any flaws. I was wondering if
anyone could
recommend me anything that combines chaos theory with design. I have
come across sources
combining chaos theory with architecture and art, but nothing with
design
itself. I plan to handle
the subject on three ways:
1) Theoretically thinking the world
as a fractal structure consisting designed clusters as residences,
roads, vehicles, parks etc. that have climates, borders and systems on
their
own
2) Taking design process as a chaotic,
unpredictable and ambiguous phenomenon because of indefinite numbers
of inputs
and also because design needs ambiguity itself for innovation (can we
also think the designer as a strange attractor in the design process?)
3) Fractal structured design
objects (like hadid, lovegrove or campana brothers etc.)
Thank you and best regards from İstanbul.
