Pop-up Futures Lab Participatory & Graphic Design Miza, Abu Dhabi Suneet Pansare and I collaborated with MIZA Abu Dhabi to create a unique pop-up Futures Lab, inviting residents of Abu Dhabi to collectively envision the futures of communities, education, cities, and wellbeing. As proponents of participatory design, we developed a rapid futures thinking framework that empowered participants to explore potential futures and contribute their aspirations.At the heart of our endeavor was the creation of a ‘futures wall’—capturing the collective imagination of what these futures could hold. The pop-up futures lab created an innovative platform for the community to share innovative solutions to pressing challenges and understand diverse perspectives, fostering a sense of community cohesion.
