Objectives (Learning Outcome): The workshop will foreground visual thinking and story-telling.
Lecture topics (content): In this workshop, students will explore how scenario planning tools can help designers to plan more durable futures. Borrowing from forecasting strategies used in economic and political fields, we will investigate how the whimsical act of charting plausible futures – delightful to dreadful – could guide decision- making so that today’s communities can adapt in resource efficient, sustainable ways.
How can we design to meet a population’s current needs, while proactively considering the manifold “tomorrows” that might lie ahead?
Teaching format (e.g. online/in person lecture/Seminar/Lab etc.): There will be an introduction online and then three workshop days where you can work on your performance and refine it until submission. The final discussion will take place online.
