Introduction: special double issue of Kybernetes on cybernetics and design Available to Purchase

The purpose of this editorial is to reach out to an audience that Kybernetes has not previously tried to reach – designers – in an effort to build a bridge connecting cybernetics and design.

Provides a brief review of the papers within the issue.

The collection of papers may provoke wonder, enquiry, and a wish not only to respect each field, but also to open up, to find out more and, perhaps, to enter into a symbiotic bridge building operation that might bring valuable theoretical illumination and realm of practice to both fields.

This editorial introduces an exploration that begins to develop any relationships that might exist between the two fields of design and cybernetics.
