TY - JOUR AB - Purpose– 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.Design/methodology/approach– Provides a brief review of the papers within the issue.Findings– 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.Originality/value– This editorial introduces an exploration that begins to develop any relationships that might exist between the two fields of design and cybernetics.
