Welcome
Why
do we need visions?
By visualizing desirable futures and making them tangible and relatable we enable ourselves collectively to reflect on where we are headed – and where we would like to be.
Who
are they from?
Good ideas can come from any discipline. But the ability of design to transform innovations into progress by combining the useful with the aspirational from a human perspective makes it the cradle of realistic utopias, design visions.
What
is a design vision?
Every design vision starts by asking the right question and continues by giving one possible answer. It is about showing an alternative to a current solution, solving a future problem or finding a new perspectives on technological potentials.

The curator’s note
… states the reason why a project was selected for design-visions and features updates on related developments, that show how reality catches up to the vision – or how it deviates from the vision.
The abstract
… outlines the essence of a project and was written by the creator. Most of these projects are based on extensive research and concept phases which are not presented here. However, further reading links are provided.
Bell Hooks
“To be truly visionary we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality.”
