How could a more just and sustainable living environment be like? This anthology seeks to shed
new light on how the design of built living environments shapes the possibilities for everyday
life to be sustainable. The centerpiece of the anthology is a selection of speculative design
experiments including e.g. Weather Wash Biophilia and Interstitial Interventions. Moving
from an analysis of 'what is' to an exploration of 'what if' the design experiments seek to
articulate the limitations of ecomodernist urban sustainability while also opening up for
alternatives. The design experiments are complemented by a number of essays expanding on
frustrations and reflections and providing insight into how a design-driven research process
might be carried out including methodological troubles. If you have an interest in planning
and design for urban sustainability futures studies and speculation and or design-driven
research then this book is definitely for you.
