Problem 

 

The things that populate our everyday lives are not designed for disruptive future change. The present is a hyper-connected, interdependent, rapidly evolving environment, full of complex, emergent multi-risks ready to cascade within and across systems. The future implications of these risks cannot be predicted, but can be anticipated under uncertainty and prepared for.

 

Challenge 

 

How do we use the future to (re)design and (re)create everyday resilience to multiple, interacting emerging risks? 

​

How can we adapt the things we see and use to prepare for, absorb, respond to and recover from extreme heat, nuclear war, supply chain collapse, extreme space weather, infrastructure cyber-physical attacks or any combination of these and many others? 

​

How can new thinking be stimulated? How can interventions enable larger system-state transitions? 

 

This project 

 

To use foresight, disaster resilience and transition design methodologies to (re)configure the everyday for the disruptive impacts of uncertain future change.
