Shaping Societies Through Design
Only for master students
Explore how to better apply design and storytelling to shape strategy, systems, and public conversations.
The way we imagine the future shapes how it unfolds. From the worlds of film, media, and entertainment, we’ve seen how visions of the future can shift expectations and inspire action. Design plays a similar role today — not just creating functional solutions, but visualizing paths forward that feel real, relatable, and within reach.
This workshop gives students the opportunity to contribute to this process. By working within the context of a high-speed train, students will create visual narratives that transform broad societal ambitions — like connected infrastructure, collective well-being, and sustainable growth — into clear, actionable ideas. By providing clear parameters for creative exploration, the course encourages deeper thinking, sharper design concepts, and more refined outcomes.
