Futures Making: Envisioning Inclusive living in Global Tomorrows

Design has played a major role in shaping the day-to-day realities of people’s lives, from the products we consume to the built environments we live amongst. That said, as we now transition fully in to the 21st Century, new realities face our global societies, from the effects of climate change to mass urbanisation and the rise of ubiquitous mobile technologies. These 21st Century realities require design to do more than just our day-to-day change, they require envisioning a future to build towards. In which designers have an opportunity to make futures where inclusive living is at the centre of our Global tomorrow. Inclusive Futures Making is an ongoing project that Sean has led across the globe as a vehicle to explore the inclusion of diverse global and social perspectives from Africa to Asia into applied speculations for global development and industry.
