This document provides an overview of the Thinkers in Residence program in South Australia. The program brings world leaders in their fields to Adelaide to address challenges facing the state. It focuses on collaborative thinking across sectors to develop solutions. Past residencies have addressed topics like sustainability, health, innovation and more. The goal is for residents to provide new perspectives and help transform thinking to build a better future for South Australia.

leadership — and there are only ever two
ingredients in that: imagination and courage.
Because it is imagination that sketches the
broader perspective, providing patterns and

8. THE
RESIDENCY

9. It uses three simple levers. The first is the Thinker,
a world leader, an exemplar in their field who comes
to live and work in Adelaide, to really inhabit our
lives and our spaces. The second is the relevance of
the issue of the residency. What challenges are we
facing? Where are the opportunities? The third is
the group of partner investors from the public and
private sector who lead the major recommendations
and conclusions into action.

12. Residencies point to the need for better quality,
big picture collaborative thinking — with the future
in mind. This residency not only focused on physical
infrastructure, bridges, buildings, streets, etc.
Rather, it focused upon the intellectual infrastructure,
the quality of our thinking, and the methods we can
develop to collaborate more intelligently as we deal
with our complex, interconnected lives and make vital
decisions about environment, health, employment, trans-port,
higher density living, wealth generation, green
space, beauty and liveability in our much loved state.

13. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
The scope of the built environment includes the disciplines and domains of:
• architecture, landscape architecture, interior architecture / design
• community development, urban design, urban planning
• heritage conservation / preservation / restoration, adaptive re-use
• regional planning and development, rural and suburban communities
• industrial design / product design
• communication design / graphic design / interaction design
• exhibition and experience design / way finding / public art
The elements of the built environment in a range of diminishing scales include:
• regions
• landscapes / ecologies
• cities / towns
• communities / neighbourhoods
• precincts
• corridors / streetscapes
• buildings / infrastructure / public space
• interiors
• products

14. PROCESSES
The very mechanism of the Thinkers in Residence
Program is an integrated design demonstration.
It is a forum where key players are at one table.
It is a forum without predetermined deliverables
and without outcome related budget or program
restrictions. It provides a very rare opportunity
for cross government and private sector interaction.

31. INTEGRATED
DESIGN
EXPLORED

32. VISION
Design solutions have a long-lasting effect and fundamentally
alter the context in which they are implemented. Therefore, a
consistent and long-term vision is paramount. The development
of a vision not only demands a sophisticated understanding of
the present situation but also a clear and profound view of its
true sustainability. This requires reasoning, critical reflection
and lateral thinking. Moreover, it requires strong political
leadership grounded in an ethical values system, the power of
persuasion, and the ability to listen to and understand the
divergent opinions of others.
INTEGRATED DESIGN EXPLORED 63

33. CONSULTATION
The role of experts and professionals in the process is crucial
to translate a vision — often abstract — into tangible and
operational models. They can visualise implementation
strategies and develop communication strategies with all
stakeholders. Experts and professionals must be consulted to
form the brief, before all other parties are affected by a
possible realisation. Such consultation provides the opportunity
for all stakeholders to comment, state their goals and
contribute to the initial vision on the basis of evidence and
expert knowledge. The goal must be to create a solid and
reliable platform for discussion and develop a strategy for
implementation that is broadly supported and owned by all the
parties involved. It should identify conflicts of interest, and
differences in value systems and of approaches, incom
patibilities and misunderstandings. It should build confidence
and prepare a common ground for active collaboration.
COLLABORATION
Collaboration in an integrated design approach is vital to bring
all stakeholders to the table, not as opponents with divergent
and conflicting goals to realise, but as allies, who seek to share
a common vision for mutual benefit. Such an integrated team,
formed as early as possible in the process, will strengthen the
conviction that, by collaborating, not only will all parties be
rewarded but also the ultimate outcome of their efforts will be
better, highly satisfying and qualitatively superior outcomes.
This synergetic aspect should be a driving force behind the total
design process.
INTEGRATED 64 DESIGN EXPLORED

34. INNOVATION
It is generally acknowledged that innovation is a necessity for
steady and healthy economic growth. Integrated design
thinking is a driving force for innovation. A design process
based on collaboration is the cradle for creating an environment
where new ideas can be formed and developed. It is precisely
the confrontation of different stakeholders in a positive
collaboration that gives rise to unknown and unfamiliar views
and opportunities, providing for new, creative and far-reaching
solutions to problems considered too complex to solve.
EVALUATION
Integrated design processes are not linear but are fundamen-tally
cyclic and dynamic. As such, temporary results are to
be evaluated regularly against the set goals and the overall
vision. Feedback from these evaluations is important to adjust
trajectories, improve decision making and optimise the final
result. This relies on a ‘satisficing strategy’, a term first used by
Herbert Simon (1957) to indicate that human beings usually do
not know the relevant probabilities of process outcomes. A
satisficing strategy attempts to optimise the use of all the
cognitive steps to meet the set goals and maximise the results.
As integrated design processes are concurrent and multi-leveled
these evaluation moments executed by all team members allow
for introducing knowledge and expertise in every stage of
the process and simultaneously on all levels, not only in
segregated mono-disciplinary fragments at moments when it
is considered needed.
INTEGRATED DESIGN EXPLORED 65

35. PARTICIPATION
Participation in design processes is often misunderstood. Tradi-tionally
it is based on what Foqué (2010) calls ‘the asymmetry
of knowledge’, meaning that, in participatory design processes.
Some of the stakeholders have expert knowledge and others
have only popular or superficial notions of the problems at
stake. A desired situation is based on ‘symmetry of knowledge’,
referring to ‘a balanced decision-making process based on both
respect for the knowledge of the specialist and willingness to
share this with the other’. It is the basis for interdisciplinary
collaboration but also acknowledges the importance of the
contribution of the local communities and so-called non-pro-fessionals.
Well organised participation allows multiple voices
to be heard and involved in the design and results in outcomes
which not only accommodate a wide range of stakeholders and
users, but allow for a better understanding and identification
by these stakeholders with the design solution.
COMMUNICATION
Communication during the design process not only involves
written language and/or speech, it covers the total spectrum of
media, such as drawings, physical models, computer anima-tions,
photographs, calculations, diagrams. The effective use of
such media involves education and training. Moreover, the
various stakeholders — government, professional
associations, advocacy groups, the built environment industry,
educational institutions and community groups — use their
own professional language and terminology. It is essential that
all participants are aware of the possible semantic differences
during the communication process and have the willingness to
listen and attempt to ‘translate’ the messages from other
parties into their own vocabulary. Citizens and their elected
representatives, and the general media who seek to engage in
non-technical non-professional language must be engaged, but
not patronised, in terms that enable them to share the new
understanding with others. By doing so, open sharing will be
encouraged, fostered, promoted, and supported, without the
fear of inferiority or irrelevance.
INTEGRATED 66 DESIGN EXPLORED

36. EDUCATION
Implementing an Integrated Design Strategy implies an
educational dimension, including basic design education.
Participants will learn and understand the essence of the
process as evolving in time but also in content, referring back
to the substance itself of the vision, its various elements,
relationships, interactions and context. Moreover, participants
should be able to interpret, read and understand the different
models and techniques used during the entire process; they
should seek to understand and speak a common language. An
open debate about the qualities of the environment is the first
step toward a better informed point-of-view.
DEMONSTRATION
An element in the educational process is learning by example
— from demonstration and precedent studies. Non-designers
often find it difficult to envisage design solutions in a real
context. Therefore, it is extremely useful to share design
solutions with non-experienced stakeholders, to analyse them
together, examine their strengths and weaknesses, and discuss
lessons learned. Case study analysis is a direct tool to build
design knowledge and to understand how designers cope with
complexity and to what extent a vision is realised within a
given context. Direct experience of place is irreplaceable as a
demonstration of design value.

45. STRUCTURE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS
Each recommendation is structured in four parts:
Foundation identifies conditions, domains or issues which are locally, nationally and globally
relevant, revealing relationships between elements, and resultant new hybrid territories, with the
potential for added value and impact.
Framework identifies elements in the design process from micro to macro scales, defined by
harmonious and unified structures. It reveals co-dependency and interconnectedness of decision
making to maximise beneficial long-term outcomes while defining new ways of working.
Recommendation relates to quadruple bottom line considerations — economic, environmental,
social and governance — and holistic approaches used to achieve joined-up solutions centred on
user needs, and based on foresight.
Strategies define opportunities and parallel actions through policies, principles and processes to
support an integrated design-led strategy.

46. INTELLIGENT INVESTMENT
Design / Planning / Development
1. INTEGRATED DESIGN COMMISSION WITH A GOVERNMENT ARCHITECT
FOUNDATION
Integrated design is a process of
intelligent investment based on the
interdependence of design, planning
and development activities to achieve
mutually beneficial, long-term, life-cycle,
performance-based outcomes
with balanced consideration of
economic, environmental and social
parameters and values.
FRAMEWORK
Integrated design thinking drives
creativity and innovation (design) for
building communities (planning) and
expanding opportunities (develop-ment).
Integrated design intelligence
provides incentives in the planning
process to generate and support
public–private co-investment.
Integrated design processes create
partnerships for public space, relating
people, place and prosperity.
