Yosuke Ushigome - Making futures tangible

We are happy to announce the summer edition 2022 of Speculative Futures Stuttgart. The event will take place at design agency 'Gold & Wirtschaftswunder' close to Stuttgart 'Stadtmitte'.

Yosuke Ushigome - Making futures tangible

As a practitioner at Takram London, Yosuke Ushigome will talk about his work as a creative technologist as well as present the Takram London's research design practice.

Yosuke is director and creative technologist, specialising in futures research, digital prototyping and interaction design, and designs for better-informed decision-making about our future.

His recent projects, including Transitions to sustainable futures research with Hitachi, focus on the interplay between people, technology and the planet.

Speculative Futures is an international community of meetups focused on Speculative & Critical Design, Design Fiction, Futurism, and Strategy & Foresight.

This is a group for those interested in using design and visual approaches as a vehicle to speculate about potential or alternate futures. We host speakers who will be talking about their work or methods related to speculating about the future. Every event will focus on a subtopic such as the future of mobility or the future of food – always with a strong focus on society and culture. The intention of this meetup is to build a community of curious professionals from various disciplines and to set the ground for discussions and gathering of visionary ideas.
