Speculative Design* is understood as critical and researching design. (Anthony Dunne & Fiona Raby, Speculative Everything, 2013). On the one hand future scenarios and artifacts are designed that push current and unthinkable themes to the extreme, making them visible and debatable. On the other hand Speculative Design can also be seen as a process of imagination. This kind of imagination produces knowledge by trying to transform reality. (Victoria Peréz Royo, José A. Sánchez, Cristina Blanco: In-definitions, 2013)
