  Some approaches to design do not fit into organizations of extreme hierarchy, extreme siloing, extreme specialization... It is a challenge:   https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/when-did-design-stop-being-multidisciplinary/?fbclid=IwAR0y4eRCjlaSjPOT76Y85pg1ABostzDxvtVDx5_qw9nQz9Jdz1tvFgoGtvE .

 A word about the word 'design'

  This is a sketch-note done of a recent keynote of mine. It is an invaluable form of feedback for a presenter. It shows what someone else heard from the presentation, how topics were related and what concepts were foreground and what were background — all from the perspective of an attentive listener. This is an invaluable service. Much more valuable than just a transcript of critical reviews. The sketch-note author in this instance is Manisha Laroia — Thank you Manisha.

  I was recently interviewed by a young design professional (Greg Williams) for his podcast. He gives me hope for the next generation of design scholars:  "Thank you, Dr. Nelson! The episode is now live. This link has the live episode and includes links to common places people access podcasts"  https://podfollow.com/lx-leader/episode/d2ff1f95ce2bb32f79aad949ea5641fc2d3c6b8b/view

  Very interesting and insightful collection of design quotes . Seminal thread runs throughout the ideas and concepts: Design mural   https://app.mural.co/t/juliansmural4730/m/juliansmural4730/1602952442897/3889c84df58ccfcd83bc8e2edcb90f8405ca740c

 Following up, this is the link to the new European Bauhaus : https://europa.eu/new-european-bauhaus/index_en 

Good news for anyone interested in a broader and deeper approach to design .  https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/AC_20_1916?fbclid=IwAR2fkKVlYyTxlLqrINwFmkOy-KW4OFb_iReLIbPkbcxM0sAppgPV6NpbHVA   Nice to see this expanded intention: But I want this to be more than an environmental or economic project. The European Green Deal must also - and especially -– be a new cultural project for Europe. Every movement has its own look and feel. And this systemic change needs its own aesthetics - blending design and sustainability.    However, the challenge is to not let this exciting opportunity become just a single issue movement—sustainability—as important as that is. The challenge is to expand attention on design beyond problematic issues to more inclusive desires for holistic and prudent development programs across all human enterprise.
