The Urban Agenda project, by LASALLE College of the Arts, seeks to continue to put forward an Open Design concept in learning and teaching Design through a cross-cultural design experience in the urban. The five years, five design institutions, five cities project was designed to facilitate a discussion and allow participants to collaborate on the research inquiry.

Contemporary Critical Design – Design Thinking and Practice is a creative compendium issued as a point of research that leads up to the final year project as well as dissertation topic. The purpose of the compendium is to serve as a repository of information to gain groundwork knowledge of what is needed to understand of the key concepts at hand before further academic, visual and artistic research should be made.

Contemporary Critical Design – Design Thinking and Practice captures information about design groups or collectives that has an emphasis on Critical Design.

This project employs critical design frameworks and collaborative imagining workshops to create fictional and speculative outcomes in Singapore. 

By envisioning plausible, albeit skeptical, scenarios for human-environment coexistence in a post-Anthropocene era, the initiative aims to provoke deeper discussion and radical thought about humanity's current detrimental impact on Earth, highlighting the urgent need for awareness regarding climate change and its consequences within a local context. 

The final designed outcomes, presented as "artefacts" in a simulated science gallery, will serve as communicative interventions to engage audiences and stimulate critical reflection on our actions in the Anthropocene.

As a continuation from the Final Year Project in the First Semester, by leveraging Critical Design and framework optimization as research models, this project facilitates collaborative imagining workshops in Singapore.

These workshops will generate fictional and speculative outcomes that illuminate humanity's current environmental impact within the Anthropocene, aiming to spark critical discussion and radical thought regarding our actions and potential futures.

The Creative Process Journals are editorials that are an active documentation of design and thinking processes, reflections, research/prototyping processes, note keeping. It also includes other research inquisitions over the first semester of my final year at LASALLE.
