speculative design

思辨设计,一种设计研究取向,借助对未来制品、场景或情境的想象来引发对当下议题的批判性反思,并不以产出可立即使用或具备商业可行性的产品为目标。

English Definition

"A design research approach that uses imagined future artifacts, scenarios, or concepts to provoke critical reflection on present-day issues, rather than producing immediately functional or commercially viable products."

用法说明 · 针对中文母语者

中文常译为'思辨设计',与商业概念验证驱动的'概念设计(concept design)'不同——speculative design 的核心目的是'思辨'而非'落地'。

常见错误

  • ·误译为'投机性设计'——speculative 在此是'思辨、推演'之意,并非投机
  • ·把它等同于科幻设计——speculative design 借助未来场景批判当下,科幻则更偏叙事
