(s)Theories | Atmos 2015 Emergence

Theories of emergence are wide ranging, from systems oriented ecologies to theories concerning the development of material form and social processes. This work stems from diverse individuals including the early Greek philosophers Heraclitus and Lucretius, the Nobel Laureate Viscount Ilya Romanovich Prigogine, ecologists Eugene and Howard Odum, and radical philosophers such as Gilles Deleuze and Felixe Guattari, architects including Sanford Kwinter, Stan Allen, Farshid Moussavi and Alejandro Zaera-Polo, landscape architects including James Corner, Chris Reed and Rod Barnett, urbanists such as Nina-Marie Lister and arguably Henri Lefebvre . In this session we are interested in examining how theories of emergence influence design and design thinking? How do different design disciplines think about, value, engage and operationalize theories of emergence?
