Abstract
There is a fringe of design practice that does adopt a more ideologically driven position in relation to design’s place in the world, and that work begins to point to a fruitful conjoining of critical social analysis and design. These projects envision design futures through the technique of scenarios. They stretch our current conditions to their logical extreme, extrapolating the present into the future. Like science fiction, these scenarios of a designed future foreground the politics of our current manias. In that way, they implicitly challenge our designed—and social and political orthodoxies. The projects effectively aim to give form to emergent social practices, providing us with a distorting mirror through which to see our present. The scenarios, by and large, are social scenarios in which the material and immaterial built environment prompt new kinds of behaviours.
