Pattern Language 3.0: A New Generation of Pattern LanguagesTakashi Iba
Takashi Iba's Invited Talk at SugarLoafPLoP2014 conference (10th Latin American Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs), Ilha Bela, São Paulo, Brazil, Nov, 2014.
Since the late 1990s, pattern languages began to be applied to an increasing range of fields to encompass creative human actions such as education and innovation. To distinguish this new generation of pattern languages that describe patterns for creative human actions, Iba have named it "Pattern Language 3.0." As pattern language domains have expanded, so have its uses. Pattern languages have been used as media for dialogue to allow the exchange of personal experiences. In this talk, I present the idea of Pattern Language 3.0, and show examples of pattern languages as well as new uses for them.
Open Dialogue as Coupling of Psychic, Social, and Creative Systems (COINs17)Takashi Iba
Takashi Ibaa, Masafumi Nagai, Tsuyoshi Ishida, “Open Dialogue as Coupling of Psychic, Social, and Creative Systems,” in the 7th International Conference on Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs17), Detroit, USA, Sep., 2017
In this presentation, we study Open Dialogue, a psychiatric programme developed in Western Lapland of Finland, with the theory of autopoietic systems. The Open Dialogue approach was originally developed as a psychiatric programme; However, the initiators and we anticipate that the approach can be applied not only to psychotherapy but also educational and organizational situation as the way of collaborative problem dissolution, because it is based on philosophy of dialogism, which is not limited to psychotherapy. For understanding the applicability, we study the function of Open Dialogue in higher level of abstraction with concepts of systems theories: Social Systems Theory and Creative Systems Theory. Our consideration implies that Open Dialogue can be understood well with the framework of the combination among chain of consciousness in psychic system, chain of communication in social system, and chain of discovery in creative system.

ESMOD Berlin Annual Panel - (What Comes After) Metamodernism - Digital Booklet Esmod Berlin
ESMOD Berlin is pleased to present a digital publication from our inaugural Annual Panel held in May of this year. The panel discussed (What Comes After) Metamodernism, a term coined to describe the shift in contemporary culture away from the trademarks of post modernism. The panels’ brief was to explore the dominant oscillation in culture between disillusionment and meaningfulness, between apathy and empathy with key questions such as; In what direction are the globalized youth going and why? Where is there an overlap with the recent past? Where do we find a combination in the analog and digital in designing individual concepts of life?
Bringing together experts from across various cultural fields the panel discussion was led by Paul Feigelfeld from the Digital Cultures Research Lab Centre, Leuphana University, and included special guests speaker Alex Lieu, Chief Creative Officer and Lead Design Director of 42 Entertainment based in California. 42 Entertainment are one of the leading companies in transmedia marketing whom blur the boundaries between marketing and entertainment. 42 Entertainment are most well known for their innovative campaign for American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails for their album Year Zero, which extrapolated the theme of a dystopian future beyond the album through leaking unreleased recordings online, and planting USB sticks in the toilets of concerts venues, which lead fans down a thrilling rabbit hole into a world of online and offline acts of underground resistance.
Dealing with the life and work of digital dissents, German Author and Director Angela Richter also participated in the panel discussion. Richter spoke about her time working with Wikileakers Founder and digital activist Julian Assange, of whom she wrote a play Assassinate Assange, premiering in 2012. Other notable panelists included Joerg Koch, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of German culture magazine 032c, as well as Dutch cultural philosopher Robin van den Akker, whom with his colleague Timotheus Vermeulen, coined the term metamodernsm and founded the online magazine Notes on Metamodernsim.
Traversing topics such as sci-fi literature, digital hacktivism, sustainable architecture, fashion and DIY maker culture, the publication aims to capture some of the intense and surprising discussions that took place. The ESMOD Berlin Annual Panel is a program conceived for students from a number of international schools, including L'Institut Francais de la Mode, Paris; ESMOD Berlin International Masters Programme – Sustainability in Fashion, Berlin; and Dessau Institute of Architecture. The booklet also aims to deliver an insight into how the students negotiated the concepts and questions raised during discussion.

Learning about Language by Observing and ListeningThe real.docxfestockton
Learning about Language by Observing and Listening
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking
new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust
The UCSD experience encompasses academic as well as social learning. Therefore, we learn not only from our courses, but from the people we meet on campus and the experiences we have with them. Life is a journey of self-discovery. As individuals, we are constantly seeking to determine who we are and where we belong in the world. Throughout this process, language is both a bridge and a barrier to communication and human growth.
The general subject matter for this essay is language or language communities. The source of your information will be what you observe and hear by listening to others. The goal is to do a project based on what our own minds can comprehend from diligent observation, note-taking, and reasoning. You should arrive at a reasoned (not emotional) conclusion. The conclusion/result of your experiment is your thesis and should be presented in the opening paragraph in one sentence. Secondary material should not be brought into this essay. Thus, this is not an essay that needs to be the result of academic texts or online sources. The research is what you see and how you interpret what you see and hear. It will be up to you to determine what particular focus your essay will take and wahat meaning you wish to convey to your reader. Do the exploratory writing activities on pages 73-76. These activities will guide you through an analysis of some of the reflections you completed in the first part of your book. Once you determine your focus, you will use the information you have already gathered and additional information you will research to clarify your ideas and provide evidence for the points you wish to make.
If you prefer a more direct prompt, the suggested topics listed below might be helpful to you. Choose one of the following topics to establish a focus and direction.
1) From your observations and conversations, what assumptions and stereotypes do we make about people based on language and behavior? What did you learn from the experiment?
2) You may examine body language as well as verbal language. Explore nonverbal communication in a group. What conclusions can you come to regarding the group based on nonverbal behavior?
3) Did you observe language differences between men and women here at UCSD Notice the ways in which men and women treat one another. Observe the language you hear on campus.
How do women greet one another? How do men greet each other? Do not just note the similarities or differences. Explain and interpret the information.
4) Observe and identify a code language on campus, on your job, or in your personal arena. How is language used? Is it effective? Analyze.
5) Have you become keenly aware of code switching? Who utilizes this language? In your observations and conversations, did you find code switching to be an acceptable form of lang.

Philosophical Foundations of Pattern Language Creation: Rooted in the "Scienc...Takashi Iba
Lightning Talk by Takashi Iba, Ph.D. in media and governance, Professor at Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University.
at the30th Conference on Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP2023), IL, USA, Oct. 25, 2023
Originally, the concept of pattern language was proposed by Christopher Alexander as a method for collaborative architectural design, and the philosophy behind it was presented in his books, such as "The Timeless Way of Buildings" and "The Nature of Order". However, after him, few people discuss philosophical examinations for pattern languages. Over the past seven years, I have intensively explored the potential for a "new academic discipline" rooted in pattern language, and its foundational contours are now becoming visible. Underpinning this discipline is Edmund Husserl's phenomenology, especially his concept of "Science of Essence." Reflecting upon our experiences, it becomes apparent that the creation of a pattern language aligns with the phenomenological method of "seeing of essence," positioning the pattern language as "essence descriptions". When looked at in reverse, my developing academic field of "Studies on Essence of Practices," is "Science of Essence" of practices grounded in phenomenology and the creation of pattern language is positioned as a primary research methodology including “seeing of essence”. In this talk, I will elucidate what exactly is being accomplished through the creation of a pattern language, with introducing the principles of phenomenology’s "Noesis" (acts of consciousness) and "Noema" (contents of consciousness) and the method of “seeing of essence”.
Exploring New Ways of Expressing and Delivering Pattern Languages: Endeavors ...Takashi Iba
Lightning Talk by Takashi Iba, Ph.D. in media and governance, Professor at Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University.
at the30th Conference on Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP2023), IL, USA, Oct. 25, 2023
In pattern languages of practices, the target readers are not limited to engineers or professionals. Instead, they span a broad spectrum of the general public, from children to the elderly. For example, our pattern languages of practices cover topics such as reading, learning, parenting while working, living naturally and creatively, living well with dementia, and realizing a good digital society. The intended audience for these patterns ranges from elementary school students to college students, parents in their child-rearing years, and the elderly aged 70 and above. Believing that we needed to go beyond traditional methods of delivering content, such as dense texts and diagrams in books, articles, or websites, we have sought new modes of expression over the past decade. In this talk, I will introduce our endeavors. They include "Pattern Cards" that facilitate reflection and dialogue, especially in workshops; "Pattern Objects" that embed pattern names and illustrations into everyday items; "Pattern Coins" that circulate within a community, inspiring practice; "Pattern Song" that weaves the important messages of patterns into lyrics; and "Pattern Manga" that tells a story expressing the effect of conducting certain patterns. By showcasing these new prototypes, I hope to inspire you and expand your horizons on how pattern languages can be expressed and delivered.
New Frontiers in Pattern Languages of Practices (Takashi Iba, PLoP2023)Takashi Iba
Lightning Talk by Takashi Iba, Ph.D. in media and governance, Professor at Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University.
at the30th Conference on Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP2023), IL, USA, Oct. 25, 2023
In this talk, I will present the new frontiers in pattern languages of practices. Historically, the concept of pattern languages originated in the 1970s as a design language for "Places" and was later applied to the domain of "Programs." Subsequently, it found applications in areas like education and organizational change, which can be considered as "Practices." In other words, the pattern language has evolved from Places, to Programs, and then to Practices. In the course of the development, we, Iba Lab and CreativeShift, Inc., have developed patterns across various fields within pattern languages of practices, writing over 3,000 patterns in more than 90 areas of practices over the past 20 years. Reflecting on our journey, we have identified five types within what is broadly labeled as "Practices": (1) Profession and Work, (2) Meta-Pattern Language, (3) Everyday Life, (4) Journey of Life, and (5) Forming Society. This talk will particularly focus on the last three types of pattern languages of practices — Everyday Life, Journey of Life, and Forming Society. We will share our own cases and experiences, including a pattern language for a good digital society, which was recently published by the Digital Agency of the Japanese Government.

Konomi Munakata, Takashi Iba, "Wholeness Egg: Designing a Living Workshop in light of Christopher Alexander’s Design Theory", PUARL 2018 conference, Portland, USA, Oct. 2018
---
This workshop introduces “Wholeness Egg” as an effective technique for designing “living” workshops. When designing a workshop, we are likely to set a specific goal, list up all the essential elements first and then simply integrate them together to make a program, to ensure that it can achieve the expected results. However, when it is designed and implemented just for pursuing the planners’ intended purpose, it is likely to fail in stimulating participants’ creative thinking and gaining “liveliness” in it. The feeling of “life” in design may sound very intuitive, and thus many people think that it is not something they can or should deal with when designing things or activities. But that is what the Austrian architect, Christopher Alexander has strengthened in his books about the beauty of buildings, “The Timeless Way of Building (1979)” and “The Nature of Order: An Essay of the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe (2002)” after 27 years of research. He said, “All our work has to do with the creation of life and that the task, in any particular project, is to make the building (design) come to life as much as possible” (Alexander, 1979). Those two books explained what gives life, beauty and true functionality to our buildings and what must be done to create more life in our world. Taking his design theory to heart, how can we design a good workshop which is truly alive?
This method was therefore developed based on the Christopher Alexander’s ideas of “the whole and parts” and “Fifteen Fundamental Geometrical Properties (Alexander, 2002)” described in his publications. This method is named “Wholeness Egg”, as it puts significant emphasis on the “wholeness” of a design. In particular, it aims to design the activity by grasping its wholeness first and subsequently differentiating it into parts (Fig.1), taking account of “Fifteen Fundamental Properties (Alexander, 2002)” to ensure the coherence and quality of the entire activity. In this workshop, participants can experience the technique of the Wholeness Egg in designing their own workshops, and will become able to apply this methodology in designing own creative activities.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

member but to the team as a whole. How can such a Creative
Collaboration be achieved? The secrets are scribed in this book.
Collaboration Patterns presents 34 distinct patterns that show
tips, methods, and views for a successful collaboration.
The Collaboration Patterns are written as a pattern language that
summarizes the design knowledge that develops from a person’s
experience into the form of a pattern. It pairs a problem that
occurs in a certain context of a design with its solution and gives
it a name. The users of a pattern language must select a pattern
on the basis of the context in which it is being used, and fit the
abstract solution to their specific situation.
The Collaboration Patterns here are in a pattern language that
helps a team achieve a Creative Collaboration. Along with
discovering ways to practice effective teamwork, we hope you
can also imagine the possibilities pattern languages offer. Read
through the pages and use any or all of the Collaboration
Patterns to make your collaborative projects successful.

• Pattern objects are objects that express patterns to
help us recall the right pattern for the right situation.
• Pattern users should first read a written pattern, and
then place a pattern object that embodies the pattern
at a place where the desired action may take place.
• The pattern object will then function as a trigger for
people to recall and use the suitable pattern when
they need it.

20. You are making a dish that has lots of ingredients.
▼In this context
A dish that uses many ingredients tends to lack uniformity.
Especially if the different ingredients are cut in varying sizes,
they will be cooked and flavored unevenly. Furthermore, the
bigger pieces of ingredients may overpower the smaller pieces.
▼Therefore
Create a uniform texture by cutting your ingredients in the
same size. For instance, if you are making something with
several ingredients, such as fried rice, cut the vegetables and
the meats in uniform pieces. Or, if you are making sauces and
dips, such as salsa, you’ll also want to mince or chop the
ingredients evenly, so that the texture is consistent.
▼As a result
By cutting in uniform sizes, the ingredients will be cooked
evenly, and the flavor will be evenly soaked up. Having even
pieces of ingredients also means that all of the ingredients will
mix nicely in every bite.
Uniform Bites
Control texture by the way you cut

The Storytelling (4) that conveys your Main Message (1) is decided,
and now you are making your presentation.
▼ In this context
To avoid using dull or overused expressions you are tempted to use
unfamiliar words, which may be difficult for your audience to
understand.
• It is difficult to express your thoughts precisely using words.
• Thought out sentences are often understandable to you because
you wrote them.
▼ Therefore
Look for words and expressions that both you and your
audience and attractive.
Search for words with attractive expressions from books or websites
to make your presentation better. Ensure, however, that these
expressions are also attractive for your audience. If you are not
sure, ask a person who is similar to your target audience.
▼ Consequently
Using words that are attractive, easily accepted, and easily
understood, your audience will easily understand your presentation.
You too can develop a richer vocabulary and brush up your word
choice skills.
26. The First-Draft-Halfway-Point

You are writing your ideas to share them with others.
▼ In this context
The initial draft is not suitable to be read by others.
• Writing helps organize and deepen your thoughts.
• Writing tends to reflect the thinking process.
• It is not until your paper is written that you can grasp the
whole.
▼ Therefore
After finishing an initial draft, improve it objectively,
considering whether readers will easily understand.
Thoroughly check if it is clear, concise, and structured logically.
Furthermore, considering both sentence and chapter structure
will help you alter content more precisely. Occasionally, don’t
hesitate to discard sections if they are inappropriate. Thereafter,
read it from the beginning and determine if readers will
understand it. The level of description and definition of terms
depends on your target audience. Then, ask others to read it,
and get as much feedback as possible. Finally, listen to the
rhythm of words, ow of sounds, and check for correct
punctuation. By reading aloud, you can more easily recognize
errors and inconsistencies. Also, proofread many times for
typographical errors.

Both logic and intuition are necessary for
creative thinking.
No.23
Takashi Iba with Iba Laboratory, Learning Patterns: A Pattern Language for Creative Learning, CreativeShift Lab, 2014
You are creating an output, and you’ve made some progress.
▼ In this context
Logical thinking is not sufficient to achieve a breakthrough
without intuitive thinking and vice versa.
• Logical thinking promotes acute analysis, inference, and
persuasion. • Intuitive thinking inspires good ideas,
expressions, and impression. • It is dif cult to be logical and
intuitive simultaneously.
▼ Therefore
Switch between the two modes of logical and intuitive
thinking.
If you begin to think logically, deliberate as logically as possible.
If you begin to think intuitively, exercise imagination as
intuitively as possi- ble. Switch thinking modes when you reach
a dead end. If you have thought logically, modify to more
attractive expressions. For example, when you are writing, draw
pictures of what you want to express in words. In contrast, if
you have thought intuitively, modify to achieve greater
coherence. For example, when you come up with a new idea,
think of the logic behind it. By switching thinking modes, you
can nd new perspectives.

You have an idea you want to share with your teammates.
▼ In this context
The newer the idea is, the more people will not understand it.
• People cannot read others’ minds.
• It is hard to imagine something that does not exist.
• Words are limited.
▼ Therefore
Visually shape your idea, so others can see it while you
explain it.
Draw a rough sketch or make a simple prototype that visualizes
your idea so both you and others can see it. While creating the
visualization, work out the details of the parts that were unclear
in your head.
▼ Consequently
The ideas you have will be shared with the team. These
visualizations will become Spadework for Creativity (23), and
give new ideas to other members. Thus, you can easily become
an Inside Innovator (20) in the team. Also by visualizing and
explaining it to someone else, you can gain a better
understanding about the idea.

You increasingly need the help of other people to do things for you.
▼ In this context
If you start to think you shouldn’t do something on your own
and should have every- thing done by others, you will start to
become unable to do even the tasks that you can do now. You
might be worried about whether you can still do a task in the same way
that you used to. On top of that, your family may offer to do everything
for you out of concern. However, if you accept having everything done
for you, your brain will receive less stimulation, and your symptoms
may progress more rapidly.
▼ Therefore
Talk with your family and create a chore that you can do by
yourself every day. It can be simple tasks such as watering a plant
and giving the pet dog his food. Tasks such as folding the laundry and
making coffee for the family... anything similar to this is important.
Reference your “Can-Do List” to look for chores that you can do.
▼ Consequently
You can actively engage in the actions around your life. The chores will
create a steady rhythm in your day, making it easier for you to maintain
control over your life. The chores would also become a good starting
point to have conversations with your family.

SAFE SLEEP ZONE, (3) STORAGE AREA, (4) DOOR SPACE, (5) REVERSE L-SHAPE
LOCK, (6) BITING LOCK, and (7) ROOTS OF TV, in the event of a large earthquake, it
is important to have some food and water set aside for such an emergency.
◆ ◆ ◆
It is normal to see people stock up on some food and water just after a large
earthquake. As time passes, so does the sense of impending danger and people
forget about maintaining emergency stocks.
Just after a large earthquake, many people stock up on food and water out of a sense of
fear. For example, immediately after the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, many
people were hoarding bottled water in the metropolitan area. According to the National
Health and Nutrition Survey of 2011, more than 50% of the population in the Kanto region
and more than 60% of the population in the Tokai region have prepared emergency
supplies of food and water in the event of another large earthquake. However, in Kyushu
and Chugoku, the impact of the earth- quake was less severe and only 30% of the
population in this region had stocked emergency food and water supplies.
Therefore:
Buy food with longer expiration dates such as canned and retort food. Buy foods
that suit your personal preferences. But instead of buying only one bottle of water,
buy a dozen so that you begin to have an emergency supply of clean drinking
water, which is critical to survival.
◆ ◆ ◆
• To avoid waste, check expiration dates on things in emergency sup- plies and
consume any extra stock before it is out of date. If you con- sume all items, buy
extra the next time you shop and replenish your supply to maintain a stockpile that
is always within its expiration date. See (9) DAILY USE OF RESERVES.
• One important addition to your emergency supplies is the life claw bar. Purchase
one or more of these tools soon as they are very useful in large earthquakes. See
(10) CROWBAR.

40. DAILY USE OF RESERVES
No.9
You have food and water for emergency purposes.
◆ ◆ ◆
You conscientiously buy and stock food and water for emergency purposes,
but these emergency supplies can expire before an emer- gency actually
arises.
Because large earthquakes are uncommon, we cannot predict them. The next one
may be tomorrow or the next one may not happen in your lifetime. Keeping supplies
only for emergency purposes can cause waste if you never consume them unless a
disaster occurs. If you have maintained extra stock of food and water in the store
room and have forgotten to check the expiration date, these would be wasted in
vain. Memorizing the expiration date of all items you have purchased and
repurchasing every item that has exceed the expiry date are dif cult. Furthermore,
repurchasing costs a lot of money each time. We are de - nitely not positive attitude.
Therefore:
Use (8) EXTRASTOCK just as you use normal supplies. If you buy what you
want or what you like, it is easy to consume it appropri- ately and still
maintain your emergency supplies. For example, if you have three cases of
water on hand and consume one case, you still have two cases left. The next
time you go shopping, buy just one case of water so you will always have at
least two cases of water available at any time.
◆ ◆ ◆
• It is extremely important to stock food and water. Hunger can be put up with for a
little while; however, clean drinking water is extremely essential for survival. Often
after a quake, water service is interrupted and toilets do not work properly. To
address the issue of sanitation, you can easily create a make-shift toilet after a
large earthquake using a big vinyl bag. See (18) VINYL LAVATORY.
