The organisers of the summer school took an explicitly designinformed approach to the event, specifically a
‘critical design’ approach. The aspiration of the organisers was that the school activities would lead to the creation of an exhibition of artefacts and visual media expressing the ideas explored during the school. The expectation of generating
exhibition quality outputs influenced the participants’ experience of the event, and this paper describes the process and reflects upon the success of this method. The authors address the
question: in what way is it useful to adopt a critical design approach with a multidisciplinary group in a workshop or school setting? It is suggested that envisionment in the form of ‘design fictions’ is key to the success of this approach.

Each piece will question what this might mean for our changing relationship with the city and its citizens.

Editors are Ivica Mitrović, Marko Golub and Oleg Šuran. Booklet also includes interviews collected during UrbanIxD project and Interakcije workshop (Anthony Dunne, James Auger, Nicolas Nova, Tobias Revell, Dionysia Mylonaki, Liam Healy, Tuur van Balen, Nicholas Mortimer, Michael Smyth).

A series of film clips were shown under three broad categories: City as a System; Individual and the System; and Artefacts of the System. After each session a discussion took place among the participants and the emergent themes were recorded on notecards. These were photographed and displayed in a slideshow format for the remainder of the discussions. At the conclusion of the session it was agreed that the portrayal of future cities and the lives of their inhabitants in the cinema can reveal many enduring personal, societal and cultural concerns. These concerns must form the basis of requirements if technologies are to successfully integrate into our private and public lives. © Selection and peer-review under responsibility of FET11 conference organizers and published by Elsevier B.V.

We have also incorporated a discoursive view of the eminent experts in the field of speculative (and general contemporary) design practice.
