Director's Paper Published in World Design Congress London 2025 Collection

We are incredibly happy to announce that our Director and Founder, Dr. Gonzalo Raineri @bigbangthinking , has been published in GLOBAL RESEARCH IN ACTION: Selected papers from the World Design Congress, London 2025. A @worlddesignorg signature event.

Being selected is a huge honor. The Congress brought together over 1,000 participants from 81 countries to explore the critical theme "Design for Planet." Following a strict double-blind review process, Dr. Raineri’s paper was chosen to be part of this global conversation.

The paper, titled "Rethinking Design from Within: An Introduction to the Symbiotic Design Framework," is a big deal for us. It condenses the massive effort of our recent 160,000-word book into a focused 5,000-word piece. It connects our work directly to the global mission of "Design for Planet" and serves as a vital academic milestone for the Symbiotic Design Academy. Crucially, this publication is a recognition of our years of work. It highlights the contribution we are making to ensure design becomes a better player, one that makes our environment a more equitable and save place for all living beings.

For those interested in the essence of our philosophy, this paper offers a precise, high-level introduction to the framework that is changing how we approach design systems from the inside out. If the paper sparks your curiosity, we invite you to dive into the full depth of our research. The complete framework is available in our book, "Symbiotic Design Framework: Rethinking Design from Within."
