This workshop was designed to spark creativity, collaboration, and offered a method for generating conceptual ideas related to local issues around Vancouver’s mobility and public space.
Participants worked in small groups to put theory into action, re-imagining a Vancouver without any limits. Designers used the practice of Design Fiction to propose and provoke discussion about what was and what could be, producing projects that sat between the plausible and imaginary. This unique technique took a speculative approach to creative work; think science fiction for the present! Participants joined the Design Nerds to use their creative imagination in designing near-future realities around areas such as public transportation and public space.
