Navigating complexity with Mieke van der Bijl-Brouwer

Navigating complexity with Mieke van der Bijl-Brouwer

Time: 53:23
What happens when design meets the real mess of the world? In this episode, Brooke and Leon talk to Mieke van der Bijl-Brouwer about designing with complexity - where there are no neat problems, no perfect solutions, and no clear finish lines. From system shifts to directionality, Mieke challenges the dominant worldview of design as problem solving and offers a new lens: one that values relationships, learning and navigating the unknown together. Mieke shares her journey from traditional industrial design to tackling complex societal challenges, emphasising the importance of systems thinking, transdisciplinary collaboration and a shift from a mechanistic worldview to a complex relational one.

Description

While design is increasingly seen as crucial to addressing complex problems, we often overlook the burden this places on designers themselves. When trying to change the status quo, designers often face resistance, experience uncertainty and feel stuck. Through open conversations with design practitioners and educators, we discover what skills, knowledge and attitudes are needed to become more resilient as designers.
