A workshop framework to help instigate ideas in the space
we worked on creating a framework that combines design methods, critical and speculative practices and philosophical ideas, facilitating a collaborative approach to futures thinking whereby technology isn’t detrimental to the natural environment, and reflecting about the role of designers in building it
the tool kit included a set of actitivites, and a set of flash cards . It was codesigned by conducting multiple test runs of the framework. I conducted a few workshops to try out the framework.
the process involved,
Understanding the topic, Scoping needs
Building the framework and tool kit
Co-discovery and co-creating through testing and prototyping
