Ekistics
Defining What is a Polis? What does it consist of?
The basic elements of human settlements in the ekistics studies are described below
(Doxiades, 1968, p.12):
“Nature, providing the foundation upon which the settlements are created and the frame within which they can function”
“Human”
“Society”
“Shells, or the structures within which a human lives and carry out his different functions”
“Networks, or the natural and human-made systems which facilitate the functioning of the settlements, as for example roads, cycling corridors and infrastructure in general.”
Design embeds ideas in communication, artifacts and spaces in subtle and psychologically powerful ways. Feminist, class, race and indigenous scholars and activists describe how oppressions (how patriarchy, racism, colonialism, etc.) exist within institutions and also within cultural practices. The theory of symbolic violence sheds light on how design can function to naturalise oppressions and then obfuscate power relations around this process. Through symbolic violence, design can function as an enabler for the exploitation of certain groups of people and the environment they (and ultimately ‘we’) depend on to live. Design functions as symbolic violence when it is involved with the creation and reproduction of ideas, practices, processes and tools that result in structural and other types of violence (including ecocide).

The term Ekistics (coined by Konstantinos Apostolos Doxiadis in 1942) applies to the science of human settlements. It includes regional, city, community planning and dwelling design.
Ecocene Design Economies: Three Ecologies of Systems TransitionsEcoLabs
Despite accumulative social and technological innovation, the design industry continues to face significant obstacles when addressing issues of sustainability. Climate change and other systemic ecological problems demands shifts on an order of magnitude well beyond the trajectory of business-as-usual. I will argue that these complex problems require addressing the epistemological error in knowledge systems reproducing unsustainable designed worlds. Ecological literacy is a basis for nature-inspired design. Ecologically engaged knowledge must inform design strategies across the psychological, the social and the environmental domains. With the expansive three ecologies perspective, interventions at the intersection of design and economics can enable systems transitions. This theoretical work informs a framing of the current epoch in ways that create a foundation for the creation of regenerative, distributed and redirected design economies.
AUTONOMA - Jason Rebillot - Environmentalism and the Postindustrial Neoprolet...Autonoma Conference
An inversion of the scale of priorities, involving a subordination of socialized work governed by the economy to activities constituting the sphere of autonomy, is underway in every class within the over-developed societies and particularly among the post-industrial neo-proletariat. (Andre Gorz, Farewell to the Working Class, 1980)
This paper posits that dormant within the logics of postindustrial service economies lies a territorial project of radical autonomy. It builds on the work of social theorist Andre Gorz, who in the 1970s and ‘80s outlined the emancipatory politics of the postindustrial paradigm. His reading was that it might generate a liberating effect, releasing society from the strictures of welfare state bureaucracy and the ‘normalization’ inherent in Fordist industrial capitalism. For Gorz, advanced technology- in particular the automation of production- was the key to autonomy. Rather than signaling the end of the proletariat, it spawned a new variation- what Gorz called the ‘non-working, non-class of post-industrial neo-proletarians’. In this formulation, the end of wage labor would allow for an expanded sphere of autonomy. Gorz’s identification of an ‘already-underway’ administrative and territorial decentralization in response to, and in support of, new production models only served to augment these claims.
Eventually, Gorz’s focus turned toward environmental concerns, marrying debates on technology, autonomy, and the end of work with those of natural resource depletion. His thinking began to synthesize with the radical decentralization and deindustrialization proposals of ecologists like Edward Goldsmith- resulting in some intriguing (however abstract) spatial provocations. This paper seeks to accomplish two things: (a) to claim Gorz’s thinking as directly relevant to the topic of the [AUTONOMA] conference, and (b) to speculate on the contemporary material and organizational implications of this important work across a range of geographies.

How to Jumpstart an Interstellar CivilizationErika Ilves
Paper presented at the 100 Year Starship Symposium in Houston, September 2013.
Abstract
Voyager 1 has barely left the solar system. Twelve people have walked on the Moon. Twenty-four got to lunar orbit, 530 to Earth orbit. Our Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity may be roving on Mars but we are far from being a solar civilization. Worse, seven billion of us on Earth are struggling to coalesce into a single planetary civilization. So is thinking seriously about how to become an interstellar civilization preposterously premature?
We make a case that jumpstarting an interstellar civilization could not be timelier: it is one of our best insurance policies against existential risk and a fast track out of the current sub-planetary civilization quagmire. We then proceed to look at what it would take to initiate an interstellar jump sequence in practice. We offer a qualitative assessment of cultural, technological, and governance transitions we would need to orchestrate, and explore how the interstellar community itself would need to evolve to accelerate these transitions.
Our proposals include launching an Interstellar Art Academy to inject a steady stream of interstellar edutainment into global culture; participating in the world’s global public policy and entrepreneurial fora to put interstellar and space development goals on the global agenda; facilitating a roadmapping process among major terrestrial industries to move space commercialization into space industrialization; designing an online game to simulate governance models to underpin interstellar expansion and, finally, turning the interstellar community of thousands into an epic volunteer organization of one million.

ON THE NATURE OF THE SYMBIOTIC MAN IN JOËL DE ROSNAYAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study aims to understand the nature and implications of symbiotic man in Joël de Rosnay.
According to this futurist, the man of tomorrow will only be a symbiotic man , that is to say a hybrid man who
shares his biophysical heritage with technological equipment. Inspired by Darwinian evolutionism and
technological convergence, he believes that man in his current configuration has an approximate biophysical
potential and that only his fusion with the machine could guarantee him optimal development. This man whose
biophysical aspect wants to be mechanized, Joël de Rosnay calls for him, going so far as to establish him as a
paradigm. However, is such a man who stands out for his hybridity with the machine not rather a non-human
whose promotion would be accompanied by an attack on the generic and ontological heritage of the human? This
is the nagging question that will be the subject of our study, in the light of an analytical -critical approach.

Internet of things and the metamorphosis of objects - rick bouter , gérald ...Rick Bouter
Where in prior times technique was referring to: “a method of accomplishing a desired aim”,
today we speak more of technology. Technology has long been presented as a set of
techniques; today it has become more than a method to accomplish a desired aim. From now
on, we live in ‘the age of makers’. In times when there are more people with mobile phone
access than toothbrushes, everyone has the ability to start up a million euro business from
behind the kitchen table.
Technology does not only affect business any longer; it also affects culture, politics, society
and every element we value in life. Maybe most important of all, it affects the human race as
we know it today. For the reason technology will impact the way we have lived for ages, it is
legitimate to ask whether there is an intersection where humans and objects will find a
mutually beneficial coexistence, or whether one of these entities will rule over the other, or
whether there will be an alliance between the human race and some sort of technology that
represents a global connected world brain.
Will technology be, like in prior times, a collection of methods to accomplishing a desired
aim, or will the human race be enslaved by technology and ruled by the artificial intelligence
embedded in it?
