Speculative Design

An approach that aims to provoke thoughts and discussion about potential technological, social, or cultural developments rather than immediately trying to solve problems.

This is usually achieved by creating one or more prototype designs. These can take virtually any form.

Speculative Design is a type of Research through Design and is closely related to Critical Design, Design Fiction, and Material Speculations.
