Future Design: Are We Ready to Become Time Rebels?
A creative and quirky yet effective method to tackle worthwhile issues, to start change movements and to create a world fit for future generations.
What is Future Design?
Future Design, a branch of Futures Thinking (also called Futures Studies or Futurology), can be considered as a method to help us retrain our brains to go beyond polarizing debates and alarmist rhetoric to think of the long view and trade shortsightedness for long-term thinking. Based on original theoretical options, Future Design addresses in an operational way the following challenging question: What types of social systems are necessary if we are to leave sustainable natural environments and societies for future generations?
Flirting with existential philosophical themes and harboring the seeds for potential human development, Future Design explores and works through our capacity for imagination and thought.
The idea of Future Design is rather simple: if there is no one to protect the interests of future generations, then designate people to “take on the role of future generations” and have them stand in for future generations.
