This paper by Tham and Jones introduces design tools meant to help collaborative teams reach higher levels of synergy, illustrated through three cases in fashion, furnishings and an interdisciplinary UK research project. It frames this work within 'metadesign', an approach that operates at a systemic level and sets up the conditions for shared, emergent change.
This conference paper by Mathilda Tham and Hannah Jones presents design tools and approaches developed to support higher levels of synergy in collaborative design practice. Framed within 'metadesign' — an approach to design that operates at systemic levels, invites interdisciplinary collaboration, and seeds the conditions for emergent processes of change — the paper introduces its tools through three case studies: mass-market fashion production in Sweden and the UK, home-furnishings production in Indonesia, and an Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded interdisciplinary UK project measuring synergy within metadesign frameworks. It was presented at the Changing the Change: Design, Visions, Proposals and Tools conference in Turin, Italy, in July 2008.
