Résumé

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).
Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby are University Professors of Design and Social Inquiry at Parsons School of Design / The New School in New York, where they co-direct the Designed Realities Studio. They are also partners in the design studio Dunne & Raby.
