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 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/piq.2007.20.issue-2/issuetoc On Jul 6, 2011, at 3:43 AM, ufuk ulusan wrote: 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.
