Whose Stories Underpin Design? Reworking Our Methods with Design Fabulations

摘要

Whose stories underpin design? And what methods might be possible if designers told those stories differently? These are the questions I explore in my book Critical Fabulations (MIT Press). Fabulation, from Latinfabulatus, means to "relate as a fable or myth" [1]. Foregrounding fabulation within design, I reflect on a mode of storytelling that helps expand designers' prevailing methods of making things, technology, and worlds.
