FUTURES x DESIGN —
A space to imagine the future, investigate the past, and speculate about what’s to come.
ISSUE 05: Housing the Wild Ones
In the past, beautifully ornate bird houses were built right into our own homes for our feathery friends. What if this was to make a comeback? What might a future where animal homes are required to be built in all new human construction?
ISSUE 04: Beauty’s Augmented Eye
In the past, small black pieces of fabric were used to “augment” the face through a layer of symbolic meaning and unspoken desires. How might this past trend inspire future outlooks when it comes to augmented reality beauty and personal expression?
ISSUE 03: It’s Alive!
Exploring the use of organisms in the design of future products and structures. Imagining futures for biodesign and its implications on society, industry, and consumer expectations.
ISSUE 02: Evicted by Nature
What will happen to our cities when we are forced to admit defeat and abandon them due to rising climate volatility? What kind of future opportunities and ripple effects may this create? Take a short dive into the repercussions of climate migration.
ISSUE 01: Mobile Structures
What if buildings could move around more easily and our cities became entirely nomadic? Here we explore how this might change the definition of community while offering avenues to live a more inspired life. We also take a look at the downside of hyper-mobile settlements.
