How might we better visualize complexity and systemic challenges? Mapping our thoughts could offer an alternative perspective.

Two months ago, I delved into the editorial design collection "Explorers: Thoughts on Mapping in Design Research" published by Stby and edited by Megan Anderson and Geke van Dijk, finding a wealth of insights on mapping invisible callenges, system of systems, sensory mapping, and even speculative mapping in policymaking within social structures.

For example, Michael Pierre Johnson and Megan Anderson highlighted the concept of bringing boundaries through mapping (P28), leveraging "design artifact" with the notion of a "boundary object," initially proposed by Star and Griesemer (1989) to facilitate cooperation among teams from diverse backgrounds without necessarily reaching a consensus. Jesse Grimes (P19) shared his perspectives on conveying the complexity of services through visualizing the "service ecosystem." Jesse also offered clear instructions and informative visuals on how we can create our own service ecosystem.

These profound insights, coupled with concrete examples, inspired me and prompted me to explore the experimental application of the boundary objects theory to examine our built environment and human behavior through the lens of Design for Longevity (D4L).

First traditional for you in close cooperation with AMK and MN modeler prepared for the end of April a kit of this beautiful machine in 1/72 scale. For KP the Delfín is an icon , the company’s first kit and the beginning of a whole pleiad of beautiful models continuing to this day. Originally we had in 3D CAD-CAM preparation our brand new model , but thanks to the offer of the above mentioned companies we finally agreed to buy nice mouldings from AMK company for which we are very grateful. Nevertheless, we used part of our 3D designs to produce new frames for the L-29R, L-29RS and single-seat aerobatic L-29A versions, which will suitably extend the original kit with other versions of the Delfín that are currently missing on the market. As always, there will be several covers and decal versions , so everyone interested in this kit can choose. We present you the first pictures from our „court“ painters Jaroslav Velc (the picture was originally created for our 1/32 model, which was resold to the cooperating company FLY together with Arad 96/Avia C-2) and Carlos Alonso from Spain.

The models will be available at the beginning of May at all good retailers and E-shops for around 14.20,- Euro. We believe that this info will please those interested in Czechoslovak aviation and I can promise that this is not the last „piece“ of cooperation of the above mentioned companies.

Important notice!!! Now in May we will release only the basic model of L-29 – AMK mouldings. L-29R, L-29RS and the single-seat aerobatic L-29A will be released during this year’s holidays!!!
