research contextCities, complexity, sustainability.
Design approach:- map the system to find emerging opportunities, rather than solving single problems
- design tools for collaboration.
theoretical frameworkMetadesign approach.
metadesign:John Wood (2008, p. 4) identifies Metadesign as an approach able to “transform the world by reimagining new ways to live”. This profound rethinking of the system is needed because working within the limits of the current system to make it “sustainable” is not enough (Wood, 2009).
Metadesign is the collaborative design of the design tools, processes that are able to produce a systemic change

context
cities&liveability interdisciplinarity complexity
A visualisation is an artefact (or sometimes just a mental image) that translates information, which by itself is not directly observable, into a visual representation that facilitates the understanding of such information.
This is done through the use of visual language, a type of language that is able to describe data or ideas that are complex and/or have a non-linear structure. Unlike written text, visual language allows the reader to “see content and form simultaneously” (Dondis 1973, 106).

DiaGrams for DesiGnAs a method for representing the complexity of urban life
The key role of diagrams as negotiation and decision-making tools is to enable common and shared understanding in multi-actors context (Ciuccarelli, Ricci and Valsecchi, 2008). Diagrams have always been integral part of different disciplines, from architecture and engineering to mathematics and natural sciences. In design research, diagrams are “operating devices able to reveal weak links among the elements of the system and to show the driving forces that can facilitate (or hinder) a design intervention” (Scagnetti et al., 2007)
