The future as a design problem (2016)
Journal Article
Reeves, S., Goulden, M., & Dingwall, R. (2016). The future as a design problem. Design Issues, 32(3), 6-17. https://doi.org/10.1162/DESI_a_00395

An often unacknowledged yet foundational problem for design is how ‘futures‘ are recruited for design practice. This problem saturates considerations of what could or should be designed. We distinguish two intertwined approaches to this: ‘pragmatic p... Read More about The future as a design problem.
