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.

"It’s about meaning and culture, about adding to what life could be, challenging what it is, and providing alternatives that loosen the ties reality has on our ability to dream."
土贼同学看完Dunne and Raby的新书Speculative Everything后，一连写了好几篇读后感（他的文笔很好，推荐大家看http://www.tuzei8.com/）。在里面，他完完全全展示了一个感性的诗意的设计师的样子，对modernism和consumerism充满了厌倦，对梦想新的可能性充满了向往。这样...

是，书里说得都对！we need more pluralism in design, not of style but of ideology and values. 我们是应该尝试不去顺应消费主义的洪流，我们是应该跳出来思考、用设计批判一些已经成为固有化的思想，我们是应该trigger观众的response（这里让我有一种，我们大家思维僵化完...

语言和物件都是想象的媒介，design能作problem solving也可以作speculation，感觉就是社科所说的worlding；下一步研究social dreaming

嘴上說說的東西，也沒啥新穎的，讀這個主要是學習組織下語言，我嘴比較笨。目標是以後做概念和組員吵架難逢敵手。

有一些观点还是挺发人深省的，尤其是“设计”不是根据生活去想象一个世界，而是把你想象的世界变成现实。还有比如说，艺术，就是人们明知道这个东西没有实用价值，但还是像着了魔一样的要买它。 写作电影与思辨设计对于受众来说的不同要求。 还提到了兰斯莫斯居然！还有狗镇的场景设计等等等。
