In what ways do speculative futures need move away from Western-dominant perspectives?

There are so many things, but I think one big area we talked about in our group is around the linear idea of time. And with that is sort of the idea of linear progress. So if we're saying that things are going to continually get more advanced, continually get better, then we are thinking about a speculative future in which we're somehow more advanced, better than the way we are now. And I think that's something that we've been trying to challenge.

I think in cultures where we look more at time as a circle, in which lessons from the past are still important, hold a lot of value. Although these lessons from the past may be reinterpreted to meet the modern day, there's a way in which we could challenge that paradigm and just bring that different mindset into the way we design things now. It does not always mean taking a piece of technology and then iterating to make that piece of technology better. We could be implementing existing technology or existing knowledge that's been uncovered, and just introduce different ways of thinking about what we consider as new and novel.

Inexpensive street furniture, by design-build firm Work Matter, was created for the waiting area. "We have imagined a composition of urban furniture by reusing construction elements from the world and language of the road," writes Work-Matter. Concrete guardrails were repurposed as benches and tables by adding steel elements. A coatrack was made from what look to have been handrails.
