Abstract

Getting people truly on board requires not just intellectual explanations, but emotional connection. So how can the need to address climate change be made real to the average urbanite? By creating an immersive experience of a city apartment as it might look in 2050, London design studio Superflux's installation Mitigation of Shock confronts us with the likely impact of global warming on the way we live, while offering insights that we could apply to take control of our destinies. Here, studio cofounders Anab Jain and Jon Ardern, and studio researcher Danielle Knight, describe the design research process that produced it, from interviews with specialists in a broad range of fields to materials investigations and prototyping.
