THE FUTURE PEOPLE are active explorers – asking what if questions related to our social norms and systems. These questions lead to speculative design possibilities. By building, testing, and demonstrating these possibilities THE FUTURE PEOPLE hope to promote alternative design solutions and expand public imagination.
In light of the inevitable downshift in energy and material availability, it seems wise for us to begin to experiment with new modes of behavior that are more compatible with that changing reality. We believe that small/agile responses based on local/specific needs and resources are the most effective way to make that necessary change.
Ultimately, we are exploring what it means to be citizens/stewards of a specific place/time and seek the freedom to uncover and deploy sustainable systems that work specifically for each one of us.
