Introduction
Who we are
advancing future literacy and future well-being. Integrating future thinking into design innovation and future literacy into social innovation.
The Design Futures group, chaired by Associate Professor Fu Zhiyong of the Department of Information Art and Design, Tsinghua University School of Fine Arts, relies on the Tsinghua University Art and Technology Innovation Base and the Tsinghua University China-Italy Design Innovation Base, and is based on design futures research, focusing on cutting-edge innovation theories, tools and practical methods, and continuously promoting Futures Literacy and future well-being. We aim to create a resilient, prosperous, inclusive and sustainable future together with people from all fields.
We seek to integrate Futures Thinking into design innovation, to give future variables to design, to examine the current design and technology development path through the future, and to have the insight of vision foresight; we seek to integrate future literacy into social innovation, to integrate macro-thinking on worldview and values in the practice of product and service innovation, and to become an action-oriented person who shapes the future. We seek to integrate future literacy into social innovation, integrate macro thinking about worldviews and values in product and service innovation practices, and become a future shaping action.

Our Design Mission
Today's era is facing the greatest change ever seen in a century, and new concepts and approaches are urgently needed to examine change and address new challenges in the Anthropocene, with the aim of enhancing people's well-being, strengthening organizational resilience, and driving positive change on the planet. Design, as an innovative anticipatory action, is gradually evolving from object-centered, user-centered, society-centered, and nature-centered to future-centered development. The discipline direction "Design Futures" is based on design, futurology, and forecasting, and takes the future possibilities of things - including the dynamic development of human subjects and external objects - as a new content and criterion for design. -as the new content and standard of design. It is an ontological, epistemological and methodological knowledge system, but also has a unique practice model and innovation ecology.
