New Video: Shoji Sadao: My Design Work with R. Buckminster Fuller

Shoji Sadao talks about his design work with R. Buckminster Fuller. The video is from the first international Symposia organized by the Synergetics Collaborative (even before we adopted our current name) in Tivoli, NY on 25-26 January 2003. A big thank you to Victor Acevedo for integrating all those wonderful additional archival materials into the video!

STEAM Intelligence: The 5th Biennial Design Science Symposium

The Chace Center, Rhode Island School of Design
Providence, RI, USA

Featuring Keynote + Plenary Speakers, Hands-on Making Workshops, Share + Tell Presentations, Exhibition, The Edna Lawrence Nature Lab, + The Arthur Loeb Design Science Teaching Collection

STEAM Intelligence stands for multidisciplinary thinking that relies on actively integrating and applying Science, Technology, Engineering, Art (+Design), and Math.

The Design Science Symposium is an interactive meeting of makers, thinkers, practitioners, and educators.

Themes for the 2016 Symposium include Whole Systems Thinking, Bio Design, and Looking to and Learning from Nature (biomimicry).

Co-hosted by The Edna Lawrence Nature Lab and The Synergetics Collaborative

2011 Biennial Design Science Symposium at RISD

The Synergetics Collaborative and The Edna Lawrence Nature Lab at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) are organizing a symposium on

Nature, Geometry, and the Symmetry of Space: Tetrahedron Discovers Itself and Universe

in Providence, RI on 10-13 Nov 2011. We are again planning to have an art show in the Waterman Gallery (the opening for the art show will be on Thursday 10 November 2011). More details to follow.

The Biennial Design Science Symposia at RISD
The Synergetics Collaborative and The Edna Lawrence Nature Lab at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) have organized Biennial Design Science Symposia at RISD since 2007. These symposia explore the field of Design Science and provide an interactive meeting of makers, thinkers, practitioners and educators. We strive to keep the work of R. Buckminster Fuller current, relevant, and applied. Fuller's design approach as "comprehensive anticipatory design science" combines an emphasis on individual initiative and integrity with whole systems thinking, scientific rigor and faithful reliance on nature's underlying principles. The first event in 2007 was on the theme of "Synergetics and Morphology: Explorations into the Shapes of Nature". In 2009 the theme was "Design Science: Nature's Problem Solving Method". This year the tradition continues with an event focusing on the theme of "Nature, Geometry, and the Symmetry of Space".

Remember to save the dates 10-13 November 2011 to attend the Symposium!
