Abstract

The emerging field of more-than-human design addresses critical challenges that the Anthropocene poses on the environment and does this by reconsidering and questioning the beliefs, hierarchies, implications and future outlooks within and through Design. In this chapter, we explore an anticipatory approach to increase the field’s opportunities for more comprehensive and impactful work. While this approach is implicitly present within the field, we highlight how further work can benefit from explicit engagement with anticipation. We showcase methods from Futures Studies that are suitable for more-than-human design and exemplify this by describing how one of these methods – Future Ripples – can be adapted to the needs of more-than-human design. Through this elaboration, we unpack requirements for mutual integration of anticipation and more-than-human design.
