We are pleased to announce that a special guest issue of the open access, multilingual design journal Temes de disseny has been published on the topic ‘Design Futures Now: Literacies and Making’. The central aim is to address design’s roles in shaping futures by modes of making and analysis for alternate presents and emergent futures. Edited by two of the leaders of Intellectual Outputs in FUEL4DESIGN (Andrew Morrison and Laura Cleriès), this special issue covers a medley of matters in the form of full articles, cases and pictorials.
From FUEL4DESIGN, there are two peer reviewed research contributions: an original article from AHO relating to IO1 Design Futures Lexicon and a pictorial for IO3 Design Futures Scouting:
