This work offers tools for navigating today's hyper-connected and rapidly changing world, characterized as a "white water world." The authors introduce a new set of practices influenced by complexity science, providing a fresh perspective on viewing the world as entangled and emergent, while emphasizing the role of architecture in designing contexts. In this framework, design transcends its material aspects to engage with complex systems. Given the systemic and elusive nature of causality, absolute outcomes are unattainable; thus, the focus shifts to designing for emergence. The text supports this argument with theoretical insights and practical tools, illustrated through diverse case studies, including innovative educational models and societal transformations. Drawing from a wide range of fields—architecture, science, philosophy, cinema, music, literature, and even military strategies—the work is structured into five books bound as two volumes. Each book resonates with different audiences, from architects to those rethinking higher education and public policy. The authors offer various entry points, enabling readers to navigate their unique pathways through this comprehensive exploration.

This work offers tools for navigating the complexities of today's hyper-connected and rapidly changing world. It introduces a new practice influenced by complexity science, enabling a fresh perspective on our entangled reality. By freeing design from its traditional material constraints, it focuses on creating contexts as complex systems. In a world characterized by systemic causality and flux, the emphasis shifts from designing for absolute outcomes to fostering emergence. The text not only presents this argument theoretically but also provides practical tools for implementation. Through diverse case studies, including innovative universities and societal transformations, it draws on a wide range of fields such as architecture, science, philosophy, and the arts. Presented in five books across two volumes, it caters to various audiences, from architects to those rethinking higher education and public policy professionals. The authors offer multiple entry points, enabling readers to chart their own paths through the content.
