My research focus  is a design theory-of-knowing that has culminated in a doctorate (currently being examined),  the aim of which is to explicate a gramma\/topology of design knowing, itself comprised of such circular feedback systems as cybernetics, actor-network theory, autopoiesis and ontological phenomenology. My next big project will be to begin the planning for a new department provisionally named Theory &amp; Techniques, one that will cut across the (newly formed) four major streams in the faculty (all the existing departments having been merged and consolidated).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Head of Department, Cape Peninsula University of Technology Email: vandermerwejj@cput.ac.za Biographical Info: I am the Head of Department for Research, History &amp; Theory of Design, in the Faculty of Informatics and Design, Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), South Africa. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/?page_id=1162\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"participants_only.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1162","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1162"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1231,"href":"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1162\/revisions\/1231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asc-cybernetics.org\/2011\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
