DE•SYN lab

DE•SYN lab explores how principles of design can advance our



Peter Cho
"Stop Thinking So Flat"
  • understanding of cross-disciplinary collaboration, and how research on the origin and synthesis of life translates to the future of life and eco-sustainability,
  • application of evolution, emergence, and complexity to design for eco-sustainability,
  • what simulation tools, such as artificial life, can contribute to debates about the origin, evolution, and synthesis of life, and to problem-solving for the future,
  • ways to apply principles gleaned from these case studies to promote innovation,
  • decision support systems for knowledge synthesis, and
  • capacity to apply design method to improve collaborative effectiveness of teams — “raising our collaborative IQ” to address the complex, cross-disciplinary problem-solving challenges facing life on Earth today.

DE•SYN lab serves as a Petri dish to culture and support cross-disciplinary design and toward planning for the future.
