METADESIGN E SUSTENTABILIDADE EM REDES

COMPLEXIDADE E CONSTRUÇÃO DE SENTIDO

Abstract

Since sustainability became part of international
discussion, reassessing the foundations and role
of design are necessary practices. This paper
discusses metadesign as a path to sustainability,
promoting the decentralization from design
specialists towards the inclusion of diverse
actors in creative communities. It also proposes
the distributed network organization model
as bias, enhanced by digital means of social
structuring. It approaches networks through
two distinct perspectives associable though: as
a social phenomenon of articulation of actors
towards a common goal; And as an information
and communication technology - the Internet.
It also raises the question: could the difficulty of
conciliating network metadesign and sustainability
network participation for social innovation?
The main concepts related to the subject are
approached with an illustrative example, to
validate a discussion from the point of view of
metaprojectual design and strategic design.
