Nature Room
Scenario year

SCENARIO THEMES
Lockdown Mental Health Nature
Designer(s)
Yuna Hong
& Shu-Yi Huang
Based on 136 signals and 4 insights
Research Question
How can we contribute to preventing people from getting mental issues during a lockdown in the future from a design perspective?
Project description
With ‘Nature Room’ ShuYi and Yuna explore how the healing factor of nature can contribute positively to well-being and mental health in situations, where we are isolated for longer periods of time, for instance during future lockdowns. With the proposal that artificial nature can be utilized as a therapeutic source, they have designed various digital versions of nature scenarios that can be brought into domestic spaces. They have imagined and designed a prototype for a 4D-projector that is able to project visuals, sounds and even smells from nature.

The Futures Design methodology is different from how we normally work. We were surprised to find that there were more diverse and interesting paths we could go down than we had thought. It helped us structure, organise and build our scenario and concept, while speculating about the future.
Decolonizing Museums
Scenario year
2033
SCENARIO THEMES
History, Decolonization, Activism
Designer(s)
Rotem Cohen-Soaye
Based on 49 signals and 10 insights
Research Question
How can museums be turned into inclusive spaces that compensate for their colonialist past? What will a museum experience look like in the future museum and how can new narratives be created?
Project description
What could future museums look like if they are turned into inclusive spaces that compensate for their colonialist past? In ‘Decolonizing Museums – the Museum as a Crime Scene in 2033’, Rotem explores a future scenario in which a museum has undergone a process of decolonization. The museum space and exhibitions have been reimagining, alongside, traditional museum media, such as maps, posters, catalogues and brochures.

The Search phase felt like detective work: constant search for clues, fragments of information, surrounded by lots of sources and information. It’s a bit like trying to find needles in a haystack and produce priorities and hierarchy.
Remote Futures
Scenario year
2030
SCENARIO THEMES
Remote work
Designer(s)
Elena Bauer
& Lunia D'Ambrosio
Based on 51 signals and 8 insights
Research Question
How might we spark reflection on the future of remote work by creating multiple future scenarios?
Project description
In their project ‘Remote Futures’, Lunia and Elena explore how we will work in 2030, if the trend of working remotely will become more and more common. In order to make future scenarios about work culture more tangible and imaginable, they have created four narratives in which personas from 2030 give an account of their work life. The narratives are visually accompanied by speculative artefacts of the future, that connect to the personas’ life and show us how anything from furniture to technology will develop according to our changing work-life needs.

It was surprising to see the future scenarios emerge from the research. In the beginning it felt out of reach, but suddenly comes a point where you feel more comfortable about imagining the future
