Singapore, Sept. 2009 Future Scenarios Workshop

Where are we?

Future Scenarios Workshop Validate design patterns by applying them to novel real problems in real contexts.

A pattern for making patterns Tell me a story. The three hats. What do you see? Make it a pattern. Connect, refactor, refine, repeat. Back to the field: scenarios.

Tell me a story.

The three hats.

What do you see?

Make it a pattern.

Connect, refactor, refine, repeat.

Back to the field: scenarios.

Make it a pattern When, Where, Who Collision of forces Cookbook: ingredients, procedure, expected outcomes C o n t e x t Problem Solution

Scenarios The ultimate proof of a pattern language is in its effectiveness as a tool for design. Ask participants to tell as “fantasy story”: a current design challenge as an “I wish” case story. Apply patterns to derive solution.
