How to use design as a tool to create not only things but ideas, to speculate about possible futures.

Today designers often focus on making technology easy to use, sexy, and consumable. In Speculative Everything, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby propose a kind of design that is used as a tool to create not only things but ideas. For them, design is a means of speculating about how things could be—to imagine possible futures. This is not the usual sort of predicting or forecasting, spotting trends and extrapolating; these kinds of predictions have been proven wrong, again and again. Instead, Dunne and Raby pose “what if” questions that are intended to open debate and discussion about the kind of future people want (and do not want).

Speculative Everything offers a tour through an emerging cultural landscape of design ideas, ideals, and approaches. Dunne and Raby cite examples from their own design and teaching and from other projects from fine art, design, architecture, cinema, and photography. They also draw on futurology, political theory, the philosophy of technology, and literary fiction. They show us, for example, ideas for a solar kitchen restaurant; a flypaper robotic clock; a menstruation machine; a cloud-seeding truck; a phantom-limb sensation recorder; and devices for food foraging that use the tools of synthetic biology. Dunne and Raby contend that if we speculate more—about everything—reality will become more malleable. The ideas freed by speculative design increase the odds of achieving desirable futures.


如何将设计作为一种工具,不仅仅用于创造事物,而是用来创造想法,去想象可能的未来。 今天的设计师经常专注于使技术易于使用、性感且可消费。在《Everything Speculative》一书中,安东尼·邓恩和菲奥娜·雷比提出了一种作为工具的设计方式,这种设计不仅创造出东西,还能创造出想法。对他们来说,设计是一种用来想象事物可能成为的样子——去构想可能的未来的方式。这不同于通常的预测或预见,也并非只是观察趋势并进行推论;这些类型的预测早已被证明是错误的。相反,邓恩和雷比提出了“如果……会怎样?”的问题,旨在开启关于人们想要(以及不想)构建什么样的未来的讨论。 《Everything Speculative》提供了一次穿越设计想法、理想与方法所构成的新文化景观的机会。邓恩和雷比引用了他们自己的设计及教学中的例子,以及其他来自美术、设计、建筑、电影和摄影领域的项目。同时,他们还借鉴了未来学、政治理论和技术哲学以及文学虚构。例如,他们展示了一种太阳能厨房餐厅的想法;一种飞纸机器人时钟的设计;一种月经机器的设计;用于云播种的卡车;一种用来记录幻肢感觉装置的技术;以及使用合成生物学工具来追踪食物的方法等。邓恩和雷比认为,如果我们更加大胆地进行假设(关于一切事物),现实将变得更具可塑性。通过批判性设计解放出来的想法增加了实现理想未来的可能性。
