Indy Johar (founder of Dark Matter Labs, systems designer) re-imagines and redesigns systems for a changed world. The architect and Professor of Planetary Civics at Melbourne's RMIT and the University of Sheffield has worked with and advised organisations worldwide. Including the Scottish Government, the Mayor of London and WikiHouse, solving complex, entangled problems. Using complexity, emergence and entanglement theories he is a rare expert in this space to provide the (only) path to fixing the world, which is to say fixing our relationship with the world.This conversation goes to a level I've not been to before publicly. On his modelling, we don't have any choice but to start building the world that comes next, for the current one has no viable pathway. He gives a vision for this this. And he gives a timeframe, too. For this episode, I'm providing a forum where you can talk through how you feel about the ideas and your feelings with others. Indy has offered to chime in too: Join the chat on Substack HERE.SHOW NOTESIf you are new to this collapse topic you might want to catch up via this conversation with Luke Kemp, the one with Meg Wheatley and this one with Corey Bradshaw.There are some previous guests and topics that are referenced in this chat:Nate Hagens on the future of fossil fuelsKate Raworth on Doughnut EconomicsWe talk about zero-sum theory. I talked about this with Liv Boeree, former world poker champion.We also cover the Blue Zones concept. I interviewed the man behind this, Dan Buettner, here.

(Conversation recorded on October 3rd, 2024) While humans, like all animals, are subject to certain fundamental realities, we also possess the unique ability to shape the world around us through physical infrastructure, laws and institutions, and our economic and social systems. And yet, it's important to remember that, as today's guest would say, what we design designs us back. In short, the systems and structures we build influence our cultures, values, and identities. Today, Nate is joined by architect and professor of planetary civics, Indy Johar, to explore the relationship between system design and human behavior - and what might be possible for transformational change. Along the way, they discuss the impact of sunk costs on our ability to change, the importance of new language to describe and respond to our human predicament, and envision future governance and economies that could enable the full spectrum of what it means to be human. What sorts of unconventional ideas, like self-owning land and technology, could lead to economies that are capable of sustaining humans as well as foster a healthy planet? How do our current societies prevent us from embodying and living into our greatest gifts as human beings? Is it possible to intentionally redesign our systems at the physical, structural, and psychological levels in service of all the entangled life inhabiting the Earth?

The Boring Revolution. The matter of this Better Worlds episode is far from mundane. As advocated by Indy Johar, co-founder of Dark Matter Labs, who visited with Green Planet Blue Planet Host Julian Guderley for this podcast episode, a boring revolution is a fundamental shift in how we as humans perceive ourselves, our relationships, and the institutional frameworks that reinforce those perceptions. The old world view created over time, positions humans as dominion over everything instead of recognizing the agency and aliveness of everything, including objects. This episode explores multiple facets of this paradigm shift challenges us to fundamentally rethink what it means to be human and how we relate to each other and the planet. Indy suggests our current worldview and societal structures are extractive, guided by externalities, and they put humanity at risk of self-termination. In other words, we have constructed a language of humans being in dominion over the world, in control of the world through theories constructed in various ways, including by religions. Next, Indy says, we constructed perspective, which put distance between us and put control into bureaucracy, governance, kings etc. Humans then separated themselves from the world, turned things into objects rather than perceiving them as entanglements in relationship with humans. That led to classifications and language shifts from verb - action oriented terms - to nouns, and finally moved into a thesis of property as a universal means of organizing. The worldview became one of control over, and property - ownership - became an enslavement of things.

Meet the Mancunian Podcast: social impact stories from Manchester
A warm Mancunian welcome to all my listeners. Presenting Season 6, Episode 10 of the #MeettheMancunian #podcast #GM #manchester #community #architecture #socialimpact. I'm Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe, your friendly host. In the tenth episode, the Meet the Mancunian podcast talks to Charlie Butterwick [https://www.linkedin.com/in/charliebutterwick/], Director, Architecture Unknown [https://www.architectureunknown.co.uk/] about his passion for community-led architecture. He shares his passion for working with communities and giving people a voice to shape their spaces. Charlie talks about learning how architecture can be respectful to local communities and how important it is to consult people and involve them before the design stage. They also try to involve communities in the construction phase using Wikihouse which allows people with no building experience to get involved in construction. Did you know: · Community-led architecture is about asking the right questions and embracing the humility to listen and understand other people's points of view, but also their expertise in the places where they live. · Wikihouse [https://www.architectureunknown.co.uk/wikihouse]is a modern method of construction based on using plywood. It is sustainable, efficient, cheaper and faster to build using Wikihouse, It makes buildings accessible for people with no particular building skills as it goes together with just a mallet and screws Time stamps of key moments in the podcast episode & transcript: 00:03:26 introducing community-led architecture 00:05:04 talking about Architecture Unknown 00:06:27 sharing some of the projects 00:13:02 some of the challenges he has had to overcome 00:16:57 the impact he has made Listen to the episode and read the transcript on www.meetthemancunian.co.uk [http://www.meetthemancunian.co.uk/]
The term ‘open source' is often linked to the development of software. But what about hardware? In the final part of this series, Colin meets two experts working in this space to hear how, much like in the natural world, collaboration can be used to address some of the problems of a linear economy, and help to accelerate a circular one.Colin is joined by Alastair Parvin from WikiHouse, an online service that provides blueprints of houses for free, and by Pilar Bolumburu from Materiom, a company sharing locally-appropriate material recipes that anyone can use.If you've enjoyed this series, please leave a review as it helps other people find it.

This week we meet with Indy Johar from Dark Matter Labs to discuss why and how our systems of governance should be reformed and why we need all professionals, including lawyers, joining this “Boring revolution”. We, of course, look things from the legal (design) perspective so we concentrate on what role (legal) design has in making our societies fit for the needs of the 21st Century. Global crises will become more frequent in the future, due to climate change escalating other phenomena, we need to create new, agile ways to manage unpredictable force majeure type of events. There might be situations where governments have only a few hours to react in order to protect their citizens, or just 24 hours to pass a new law. The new reality will demand us to change also the way we design regulation - or what we think a regulation is in the first place. There is a tremendous need for law to change and the required work might seem overwhelming, but Indy puts us back on track and reminds us that there are examples of gigantic systemic change. We also cover some big topics like democracy and talk about the need for creating better legal concepts and models, such as property right or legal personhood, to transform governance.

In Episode 30 of A is for Architecture, I speak with Alastair Parvin, CEO of Open Systems Lab, co-founder of WikiHouse, writer and architect. Open Systems Lab 'believe that if we want to build a successful, sustainable, fair and inclusive digital economy and to navigate the massive changes of the next half-century, we need to design, invest-in and deploy new open systems for everyone'. We discuss the impact of these things and the implications and possibilities they suggest, particularly for the production and management of the built environment - towns and cities, house and homes (and the gaps in between). Alastair and I talk about all this with reference to three pieces he has written: A New Land Contract, Planning for the Future and We need new operating systems. Whose job is that?, all linked here but available on Alastair's Medium page. I met Alastair At Sheffield School of Architecture, where we both studied. His work, which incorporates stints at RSH+P and Architecture 00, is a wonderful example of the possibilities afforded by engaging with socio-spatial and process thinking. Follow the links above to Al's articles, and watch him TED the roof off here: Architecture for the people by the people. He also gave a talk entitled The Future of Regulations at the Radical Practice Conference 2020, Royal College of Art & Dark Matter Laboratories, which is worth a sticky.

Deze week luister je naar Vincent Muller. Hij is founding-member van WikiHouseNL. Dit is een heel tof platform, waarmee je dankzij open source en je eigen spierballen écht je eigen droomhuis kunt gaan bouwen. Het is een beetje een mix tussen het computerspel The Sims en IKEA (maar dan met iets grotere dozen). En het is ook nog eens een stuk betaalbaarder. Vincents fascinatie voor open source, digitalisering en democratisering van het bouwproces heeft geleid tot zijn mede-oprichten van WikiHouseNL.

Nadja, Pieter en Patricia gooien hun leven radicaal om: ze besluiten anders te gaan wonen. Waar? In Minitopia: een terrein aan de rand van Den Bosch waar 32 pioniers hun zelf-ontworpen woning mogen bouwen. De meesten van hen hebben zoiets nog nooit gedaan. Waarom doen zij dit? Platte Grond volgde gedurende een aantal bouwmaanden drie Minitopianen die, om uiteenlopende redenen, besluiten mee te doen aan dit experiment. Zij willen dus anders wonen. Maar willen we dat niet stiekem allemaal? De belofte van ruimte, onafhankelijkheid en vrijheid is mooi. Het idee van een uniek huis in een warme gemeenschap misschien nog wel mooier. Het is keihard werken. En de toekomst van Minitopia is onzeker. Maar een beetje pionier laat zich niet zomaar afschrikken. Nadja, Pieter en Patricia doen het gewoon.Dit verhaal werd gemaakt door: Mariette HeresVoice Over: Nienke de la Rive BoxEindproductie: Rene van EsMuziek & Sound Design: Michiel van Poelgeest

Hello & welcome to episode 6 of the Create More Podcast. This fortnights episode is the with the co-founder of Wikihouse - Alastair Parvin. WikiHouse is an open-source project for designing and building houses. Its goals are to democratise and simplify the construction of sustainable, resource-light dwellings. The project was initiated in the summer of 2011 by Alastair Parvin and Nick Ierodiaconou of 00, a London architecture practice. It has grown around the world with chapters China, south Korea, New Zeland and America. Alastair is deeply passionate about the future of a truly opensource design world and over the following hour him and Ben talk all about the beginnings of this '3rd industrial revolution' and where Wikihouse is heading in the future. Enjoy! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Jo Barratt talks to architect, designer and inventor, Alistair Parvin in this latest podcast from Civic Radio. Alistair Parvin says it is easier to capture what a citizen is not, than what a citizen is, and notes the language of ‘customers’ and ‘consumers’ that has been increasingly employed as public services have been privatised. But he points to the growing movement of those who are reframing ‘democracy’ (so that it isn't just about registering a vote every few years) and challenging how public services are provided. He suggests that new technology enables a true revolution – in which we move away from centralised civic structures, towards a world in which community planning and construction is done by citizens rather than to citizens. Where architects are not just working for the rich and for huge construction companies, but supporting more people have more power over their environment. This is not just a theoretical position. Alistair is part of Zero Zero, a company that encourages and coordinates the development of Open Source architecture blueprints of houses, (the WikiHouse) that can be downloaded free of charge, and made, in kit form, with 3D printing. The kit can then be constructed by those with no traditional construction skills, in a matter of days. You can also see Alistair Parvin's Ted Talk here.
Alastair Parvin explains how WikiHouse has developed and why it is so significant when it comes to enabling more people to build affordable, high quality homes.
