This article provides a philosophical analysis of Richard Buckminster Fuller’s synergetics as the foundation of systemic and creative design in the context of digitalization and the increasing complexity of modern forms of interaction.
The study centers on the idea of form as an active principle for organizing action, thought, and distributed agency. It is demonstrated that in Fuller’s conception, geometry ceases to be merely a description of spatial structures and becomes
a universal language of relationships through which energetic, informational, and social processes are organized. Fuller’s synergetics anticipates modern notions of distributed agency, according to which the capacity for action belongs not to an autonomous subject, but to the configuration of interactions within a system. In this perspective, design is interpreted as the design of structures capable of generating new modes of action, cooperation, and creativity. Particular attention is paid to the transition from an object-oriented understanding of design to a systemic one, where the primary subject of design is connections, interfaces, information architectures, and forms of organizing collective behavior.
