Learning Design by Making Futures

Working with design-centred and futures oriented literacies necessitates close attention to processes of making and knowing through desiging that are well located and exercised in practices of observation, participation, documentation and distribution. In FUEL4DESIGN we have sought to take up and try out tools and techniques from design and Futures Studies and to actively make new devices and engages in online platforms, physical artifacts and embodied communicative affordances. we have aimed to work in uncertain times and to see uncertainty as a design material of sorts. In this pursuit we have built a relational anticipatory epistemology via design pedagogical experimentation, practice and reflection. In this chapter we take this up in looking further into learning design by ways of making futures.
