Design principles for care-centered systems
members_of
Cross-scale frameworks linking spatial patterns, diagrams, and simplicity as expressions of care in design.
Generative design through environmental constraints
members_of
Design frameworks that enable creativity and life through structural integrity, loose parts, and natural forces—opposing professional monopolies on creation. Emphasizes emergence over control.
Parametric design constraints and aesthetic measurement
members_of
Explores tension between quantifiable design parameters, environmental forces, and the inherent unmeasurability of aesthetic judgment in computational design systems.

claim

Diagrams can be understood as a strategy to deal with the structural complexity of the apparatus, enabling the creation of new games.
contradicts
Following Flusser’s challenge, the paper claims that cybernetic diagrams are meta-tools for designing new rule systems.
