Design is challenging the fields of knowledge

The collapse of disciplinary knowledge starts from the awareness that we always move within complex systems, which in turn force us to give up reducing knowledge to unified theories. Electronic data processing has exposed us to the exponential increase in the amount of information we interface with, in which we can navigate with different magnifying glasses each time. Likewise, the infinite possibilities developed by electronic data processing show us intelligent systems that are more complex than the sum of the individual elements of which they are composed, in turn capable of learning and evolving in exceptional ways. Systems are not only different in quantity, but also in quality, that is because they involve cultural, social, technological, infrastructural, scientific, economic, environmental systems, and so on, each of which is strongly intertwined with one another to make them interdependent.
