Systemic Design Labs ⎟ETH Zurich

Systemic Design Labs (SDL) of ETH Zurich is a new type of synergistic science-design-praxis hubs. We open up mental space to reframe crises through different worldviews. We enact with complex sustainability challenges by integrating science disciplines, design, and transformational praxis in the real world. As an organism of flexible, fluid arrangements of research-design-transformation activities, ETHZ SDL is hovering between, within and beyond a disciplinary organized institutional setting. SDL is hybridizing (synergistically interweaving) science for and of sustainability, research by design, and transdisciplinary, real-world collaborative action. SDL leverages research and learning opportunities in real life, in real time, with all the inherent complexities and surprises of transformations and systemic innovation. To stimulate and practice mental and cultural transformation.
