The new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) series entitled “Designing Resilient Regenerative Systems” is featuring a new virtual-real didactic concept, where local physical social outdoor action is stimulated and incubated by virtual means. Starting in spring 2022 on EdX.
A cycling journey towards resilient regenerative futures: Systemic Cycles (SC) was protoyped by Martin Schütz and Tobias Luthe of ETH Zurich in 2021, hosted by MonViso Institute, IT. SC currently is both further conceptualized as a Swiss-based research project, and as part of this research practically developed in different bio-regional contexts. cycle-explore-connect-map-weave-transfer-enjoy Systemic Cycles is…
Our current societal challenges lead to increased complexity and uncertainty. Neither the analytical and descriptive tools of science, nor the iterative doing of design alone are adequate for addressing complex challenges to implement and guide transformative action. Combining both cultures of reasoning and methods as a fluid, solution oriented and synergistic process, is hybrid, and…
How to revive mountain livelihoods, focusing on local identity, resilient landscapes and a regenerative economy? What: ETHZ Master course by Systemic Design Labs. When: spring term 2019. Instructors: Tobias Luthe, Justyna Swat, Haley Fitzpatrick, Anna Rodewald Design challenge The specific design challenge is to identify and layout a holistic, partly quantified and visualized systems strategy…
Material science, land use planning, visionary futures – a first explorative project. In this systemic design research project (2021-22), we develop foundations for a yet to come much larger program on a hemp based bio-regional economy: we prototype regenerative hemp composite building materials, embedded in regional circularities with a focus on de-carbonizing the Swiss construction…
An experiential educational co-creation hybridizing science, design, social outdoor joy, and local people action. What: ETH-EPFL PhD Summer School When: June 2021.
