https://simplecast.com Deem Audio | Future Feelings with Radha Mistry The study, the science, and the art of predicting and preparing for the future has long been a preoccupation of humankind, and is of particular concern to designers. The stakes of our global present are especially high. We’re facing the compounding repercussions of climate change and rapidly transforming technologies alongside the catastrophic fallouts of a deeply flawed, centuries-old geopolitical system. It’s difficult even to parse the present, let alone conceive both of what might come next, and how we might exercise agency in shaping it. In this series, Radha Mistry, a designer with a background that spans architecture, narrative environments, and strategic foresight, unpacks the purpose and practice of futuring, and introduces us to six venerable practitioners who approach this work in myriad ways. Radha Mistry is the Americas Region Foresight Leader at Arup, teaches futures studies in the Master of Architecture programs at Southern California Institute of Architecture, and spends most of her time exploring the impact of emerging drivers and how they’ll change the way we design and make things in the future. She is based in Los Angeles. 2024 - Deem Audio | Future Feelings with Radha Mistry en Tue, 7 Jan 2025 08:00:00 +0000 Tue, 7 Jan 2025 19:31:53 +0000 https://deem-audio-future-feelings-with-radha-mistry.simplecast.com Deem Audio | Future Feelings with Radha Mistry https://image.simplecastcdn.com/images/9c57d3cd-0425-4b04-8f07-b427e50ed94f/cb89197e-df84-47d9-a468-e9e827fd5e9b/3000x3000/ff-cover-radha-edit.jpg?aid=rss_feed https://deem-audio-future-feelings-with-radha-mistry.simplecast.com episodic The study, the science, and the art of predicting and preparing for the future has long been a preoccupation of humankind, and is of particular concern to designers.

Nicolas Nova was an early and consistent participant in Julian's Near Future Laboratory's research and design studio. He recently passed while doing what he loved — trekking, exploring, observing in curious and out of the way places. The entire design community has lost a gentle and thoughtful collaborator, teacher, mentor, instigator, interlocutor. His curiosity was infectious and his work was always inspired, thoughtful, full of wit, and provocative. We dedicate this episode to his memory and the good work that will continue in his name.
