  • What else might design be – different interpretations of the world
  • Speculation (Speculative Design?)

• Prefiguration in Contemporary Activism
• Analog game movement – write rulesets that reflect the vision of the architect. No, that didn’t work. Then creating the experience locally. Now a co-creation process that’s half product/half event? Practice being transmitted through objects. De-centering the designer, recentering the practice.
  • Douglas Wilson (Folk Games) No Autour.
