DESIGNING QUESTIONS
by Anab Jain with Nikolas Heep and Stefan Zinell
Emerging from a decade of teaching and learning at the Design Investigations Department at the University of Applied Arts Vienna the book asks: if the answers we've inherited have led us to this moment of profound planetary and societal disquiet, then isn't the most radical act to reclaim the power of the question?
The book explores how speculative, ecological, and futures design can help us navigate a deeply complex world with imagination, care, and joy.
DESIGNING QUESTIONS is both a philosophical manifesto and a practice-led field guide, featuring extraordinary student work alongside contributions from Paola Antonelli, Lilli Hollein, Fiona Raby, Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, Giovanna de Oliveira Andreotti, Zoy Anastassakis, Nana Biamah-Ofosu, Rory Hyde and Angela Neubauer.
