Temporal Design
Temporal Design is proposed as a shift of perspective of Time in Design – moving from pace, direction, and subjective experience, towards looking at time as emerging out of relations between cultural, social, economic and political forces. We believe that a pluralist perspective of time could help demystify problematic experiences and potentially enable more inclusive ways of understanding time.
