Metadesign is an emerging conceptual framework for co-creating a new social, economic and technical infrastructure. It exists as a superset of aims, values and tools that would enable teams of trans-disciplinary designers to map, co-create, and orchestrate a new paradigm of wellbeing.
This Metadesign Research Centre will be known as 'MRC Wales'. The launch was kindly supported by the ATiC project. The Metadesign Team will develop a research agenda aims supports the aims of the Welsh Assembly's Well-being of Future Generations Act (2015).
