Design Investigations: After Abundance - A Speculation on Climate Change in the Alps

The speculative narrative AFTER ABUNDANCE imagines an Alpine society altered by climate change, in which human ingenuity and solidarity are the keys to survival. The work shows how local communities confront these new challenges with traditions and technologies using craft skills and resourcefulness so that they can continue to develop in their altered surroundings. This encounter with experiments, legal devices, protests and performances invites readers to empathize with the lives of people in a possible future.
