Design Justice
Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science
August 26, 2023
A bi-weekly conversation in Zoom, every second Saturday at 8am Pacific Time, inspired by the world building session with Trimtab Space Camp Mesosphere visionary Tony Patrick in 2020. In our conversations, we mused that we were a World Weavers Web, weaving synergetically as a synarchy, rather than in the dominant mode of dominating over nature as architects and builders, and collectively agreed to change the name of the group to World Weavers.

A message from the Design Science Studio.
Design Science
Design Science is a shorthand for what Buckminster Fuller named his discipline for coming up with inventions: “Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science.”
Comprehensive
to see the big picture and recognize the synergy of the whole.
Anticipatory
to visualize a preferred future and work towards it.
Design
to align intentions with values and navigate directions with purpose.
Science
to observe and describe patterns as generalized principles and laws of nature.
Life is the foundation upon which we create value. Life, as qualitative experience, is beyond quantification. Life is the dynamic process of co-creation through interconnected relationships in flow.
The realm of possibility is endless, with so many horizons to explore in creating a future that works for all of life. Let’s begin our journey by delving into the profound realm of design justice and its vital influences.
Design Justice
Design justice is a framework that is:
Comprehensive
Design justice recognizes and challenges the historical and systemic inequities perpetuated by design practices.
Anticipatory
Design justice aims to center the voices and needs of marginalized communities, ensuring these communities are at the forefront of design solutions that address their unique challenges and promote inclusivity.
Design
Design justice plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing systems, policies, and structures from healthcare to education, transportation to technology.
Science
Design justice promotes equal access, amplifies marginalized voices, and shapes more inclusive and sustainable solutions to reconnect and reintegrate the syntropic organism of life that has been disconnected by the modern industrial machine of death and entropy.
A Lens
Design justice becomes a lens to guide us as we map the territory of the human heart and navigate metaphysical gravity. As Buckminster Fuller articulated in his poetry of art and science, “Love is metaphysical gravity.”
Call For Creators
The commUnity is the project. The journey is the destination. We are setting a course for a heart of compassion and a world of love—the inner and outer architecture of a life of integrity. Synergy literally means to work together (syn, together + ergon, work).

Spaces are limited to 144 creators and applications close September 24th. Don’t miss this opportunity to join a vibrant commUnity of imagination activists and learn from leading experts. Together, let’s craft a future where design becomes a powerful catalyst for justice and equality, igniting hearts and inspiring positive change.
Wishing you the courage to design a more equitable future, we will be with you every step of the way,
A Bi-Weekly Zoom Meeting
Join us in our World Weavers conversations as we explore the inward journey into who we are as human beings and sensing, feeling, thinking, and acting carefully as we consider the world that we are weaving together for the generations to come.
We are experimenting with Substack as an alternative to the Google Group as a way to stay connected in between World Weavers meetings. Add your email to the mailing list for the World Weavers by subscribing to Trimtab.
