This render focuses on the Lexicon as an &#8220;object&#8221; rather than on its terms and actual content. Each scenario includes a short synopsis with a design fiction (fictional artefact) helping to envision how the Lexicon could evolve and what it could become.<\/p>\n<p>As futures are necessarily plural, \u201cDesigning the futures of the Design Futures Lexicon\u201d doubles up as a tool to (re)open the imaginaries.

For each scenario, one is first invited to imagine how the future depicted in the \u201cMore-than-human Lexicon\u201d or \u201cAdversarial Lexicon\u201d scenario has happened.

The Design Futures Lexicon articulates these \u201cterms\u201d as a way to mitigate the design of anthropo-centred futures, to integrate the \u201cvoices\u201d of other species in the experience of building visions, as an act of mediation of non-human perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>This new Lexicon merge pieces of human and non-human for communications or interactions between members of a same species members, members of other species, and the environment.
