The Climate Imaginary

Leire Asensio Villoria & David Mah

As climate change increasingly emerges as a critical and prominent concern for modern society, the design field has actively responded by deeply engaging with the complex social, political, and cultural transformations that are anticipated as a direct result of this ongoing crisis. Furthermore, there has also been a significant expansion in the diverse range of climate-informed design explorations, moving well beyond merely the technical aspects of sustainability. 

The Climate Imaginary showcases an extensive global collection of innovative works that reflect this rich diversity. This pluralism resonates powerfully with the various disruptions that are set to impact every single aspect of our lives. The widespread and far-reaching consequences of this pressing emergency open up numerous subjects and themes for designers to explore creatively.
