Course Description
In this course, we examine attempts where design is used in service of fictional pursuits as opposed to directly applicable functions in the real world. The lens of fiction allows one to consider possibilities without the physical limits of realisability. Thus, it points to fantastical and yet predictive and pre-eminent ideas. The course draws influence from sci-fi, retro-futurism, and selected strains of literature such as magical realism, historical fiction among others.
