> The emerging renaissance of systems thinking in design responds to the

> *Promote a transition towards flourishing enterprises and sustainable

> *Engage value conflicts between economic, social, and environmental
> paradigms?
> *Address systemic causes of escalating costs and complexity in the health,
> legal, taxation, financial, security, and other sectors?
> *Empower citizens to mobilize local responses to global problematics and
> democratically engage within their cities, municipalities, provinces, and
> states?
> *Shift government approaches to citizen engagement, policy design, and
> policy assurance?
> *Catalyze systemic changes and innovations in the relationships between
> architecture, the built environment, and the social and natural systems
> they interact with?
> *Reframe approaches to education and professional practice to exploit
> complexity?
> *Increase the resilience of social systems to cumulative effects and
> systemic risk by rethinking and redesigning them?
> *Accelerate learning and adaptation at organizational and societal scales?
> *Provoke transformation and innovation in today's legacy social systems?
> *Advance a deeper and more critical theoretical foundation for designing
> at scale?

> We are interested in proposals that draw from recent case studies from
> fieldwork, design inquiry and research, and mixed methods in
> systems-oriented design. Design practices found effective in fields such as
> healthcare, governance, environmental stewardship, organizational
> transformation and social change are of particular interest for cases and
> discussion within the conference.
