Design, Futures Thinking "The narrative structure has to change. The standard narrative that gets used in storytelling — a structure of one climax, or one challenge, to be resolved — no longer suffices." ![]() Image by Beatrice Sala "There is an urgent need for guardrails to ensure that future design, or any kind of design pedagogy, isn’t framed by a privileged perspective, or overly focused on either the historical or the future. Design must defy the constraints of the past, while simultaneously not succumbing to a glamorized novelty of something that has yet to be created. Like history, the future is not apolitical. It can be trapped inside of a settler-colonial mindset: it can be a space to plant a flag." - Forest Young |
