Peter Jones | Four Seasons of Design Evolution for Complexity | Winter | A series of four talks

In this talk, "Winter: Design prospectives in the evolution of civilisations" Jones suggests that design interventions at the largest scales are necessarily cultural-historical, political, economic, and industrial programmes and, less so, the forms of social change or movement-making that are considered change interventions within national or cultural contexts.

These four presentations take place at RSD locations: Bogotá, Monterrey, Toronto, and Washington, DC. These are contextual talks relevant to each hub location and their respective focus areas: design research, participatory ecosystems, futuring, and emerging from entanglement, and my participation with them. They are associated with the natural cycle of seasons as they move from the “promising emergence” of systemic design in Latin America in Bogota to the summer heat of practice in Mexico, to the observation of challenging futures in Canada, to the winter of massive upheavals in civilisation, presented in the final talk at Georgetown.
