Abstract

Complexity is a subject of major relevance in contemporary studies. According to several authors, the complexity of current environments has been imposing severe limits to deterministic, centralized and hierarchical design approaches. Its dynamic condition calls for a thorough review of contemporary design methods of thinking and action. This paper addresses and discusses the main features of complexity in the design context and indicates epistemological revisions of the design activity as practice and as discipline, such as: demand for adaptation, programming, and hybridization. The main objective is to bring renewed conceptual approaches to contemporary creative practice, especially in the areas of architecture, design, art, and computing.
