THE SYSTEM* indicates the complex interaction of the economy, professional practice and personal choice. The system is a set of institutions and infrastructures that shape the contours of resource flows and modulate the rhythms of material cycles.In this issue of Volume, we’re dilating our pupils to focus on ‘the system’ itself, treating it as a result of, and therefore question of, design. We're collecting a series of definitions, maps, and strategies for intervening in it.
