This is the landing page for the work-in-progress research notes (aka _knowledge garden_) by [Stanislav Roudavski](https://unimelb.academia.edu/StanislavRoudavski) and [Deep Design Lab](https://wiki.deepdesignlab.online/).

The repository contains notes on topics in support of reserach, teaching, practical action, and outreach.

## Focus

The connecting theme of this repository is designing **for** and **with** human and nonhuman beings such as animals, plants and microorganisms but also hills, rivers, celestial bodies, and intelligent machines.
