After some of us got to know each other at the 60th Anniversary Conference of the American Society for Cybernetics in Washington D.C. in June of 2024, Prof. Liu Yubo, Prof. Deng Qiaoming and a team of their researchers from the School of Architecture at South China University of Technology in Guangzhou visited us at the SUSTech School of Design on 08-Oct-2024. The SCUT researchers joined members of both the Future Ecologies Group and the Design Cybernetics Group to exchange ideas and ongoing work in the areas of design cybernetics, urban ecology and subtropical architecture. We are looking forward to a return visit in the near future!
