(#2|B|1) Design Fiction: A Short Essay on Design, Science, Fact and Fiction

In "Design Fiction: A Short Essay on Design, Science, Fact, and Fiction," Julian Bleecker explores the concept of design fiction as a creative approach that blends design with elements of science fiction to inspire innovative and speculative thinking. The essay discusses how design fiction operates as a narrative strategy, using designed objects as narrative tools that provoke thought and discussion about potential futures. Bleecker argues that this method enables a deeper engagement with the material and social implications of technology and design, encouraging a broader exploration of possible and alternative futures through the imaginative scope of science fiction. This approach not only challenges conventional design processes but also enriches the discourse around technological development and its impact on society.
