Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development
Scenarios are designed to stretch our thinking about both the opportunities and obstacles that the future might hold; they explore, through narrative, events and dynamics that might alter, inhibit, or enhance current trends, often in surprising ways. Together, a set of scenarios captures a range of future possibilities, good and bad, expected and surprising but always plausible.
Importantly, scenarios are not predictions. Rather, they are thoughtful hypotheses that allow us to imagine, and then to rehearse, different strategies for how to be more prepared for the future or more ambitiously, how to help shape better futures ourselves

Week 04: Reading Reflection
Winters, E. (2007). Politics and the Situationist International. in. Aesthetics and architecture, London ; New York: Continuum. 92-98.

Architecture, according to van Eyck, is much deeper than having thought of function in terms of warmth, shelter and security. Eyck had thought to establish the ways in which the patterns of life are to be mapped onto, so that they are designed into, the buildings and artifacts through which, and which, those patterns of life are shaped.
Our Future scenario is more then a measure of forward thinking... We are considering, brainstorming, and fundamentally designing an adaptive reality. Design can mold peoples behavioral characteristics. Our future scenario uses our groups current future prospects, with one of the key fundamental relationships is a desire to work from home.
