03 AUFGABE Szenario – Spekulation – Narrativ – what if?
“In order to better understand and evaluate present social, cultural, and technological conditions and project future possibilities, architects, designers, and artists often utilise speculative or design fiction to consider “what if.” Using a strategy common to the work of writers and artists such as J.G. Ballard and Chris Marker, speculative and imaginative designs for the near future take a current scenario to an extreme endpoint, in order to enact a highly tangible and often visionary expression of the now.”
