Full Article:

Among several possible approaches for design process, Design Fiction stimulates the production of fictional universes in the search for innovation, exploration and creative provocation for the development of built environments. The aim of this article is to present results of the exploration of this approach in the context of architectural projects, based on the works of Markussen and Knutz (2013) and Plowright (2020). The work proposal for two workshops through webconference was based on fiction works pre-selected, from which students could choose at least one to use its narrative as a foundation to develop their own project. Thus, all three projects developed explore socio-technical, ecological and emotional characteristics of the inhabitants of created narratives, bringing them closer to an approach that has a greater focus on the relationship and interaction between user and built environment
