8 Note that Heath Robinson resorted to a different stripped-down version of his original drawing style with much cleaner lines and lots of white space within the “How to” series. As such, one does not find the usual one Robinson image that gives an overview of the entire system, but instead micro-events detailed out as drawings and spun into the textual narrative.

Notes on contributors
Dulmini Perera
Dr. Dulmini Perera is an architect and architectural historian with a research interest in architecture’s encounters with scientific practices and technologies that have contributed to the emergence of various techno-social models of framing the environment. At present, she explores the connection between design methods and mess (or wicked problems) in its many forms. Her current teaching studios at the Bauhaus University Weimar are focused on developing systemic tools that aid designers in dealing with these messy situations.
