Our future challenges us as citizens, professionals and design academics. Environmental conditions, the climate crisis and urban concentration are just some of the challenges we must face, not only with new proposals and practical solutions, but also with new processes and methodologies that bring us closer to this future.
Speculative design and other methods based on foresight are already procedures that are beginning to be introduced into design practice, as well as other perspectives based on eco-design, but there is a whole world to explore, including the mixing of different methods. In this roundtable, we propose to explore these design processes - with practitioners and specialists - that focus on the projection of better and more sustainable futures through design.
