Workshop: Moving beyond Linear & Cyclical Processes
In this virtual workshop experience we will begin by critically examining the influences of the linear and cyclical processes on the way we think, learn and design. This reflection is intended to provide us with the opportunity to imagine new ways of designing. Ways that are responsive and resilient to the emerging ecological, political and social dilemmas of our times. Ways that are adaptive and dynamic like that of the natural world. Join us to learn about, ponder and apply the dynamic and flexible approach known as organic design.
