Imagination is a crucial tool in shaping our future, especially in the context of climate change and sustainability. While dystopian narratives dominate the media, there's a growing need for positive, actionable visions of the future—something that Design Fiction uniquely offers. Unlike science fiction, which often explores far-off possibilities, Design Fiction brings those possibilities into the present through tangible artifacts. These artifacts allow us to experience and critique potential futures, making them a powerful tool for innovation. By materializing utopian visions, Design Fiction can shift the narrative from despair to hope, inspiring collective action towards sustainability. In a world inundated with regulations and frameworks, Imagination provides the vision we need to create a future worth striving for. Learn how Design Fiction bridges the gap between Imagination and reality, offering practical tools to design better futures.
