Rehearsing the Not-Yet

An introduction to the superFUTURES ethos and pedagogy.

We are superFUTURES

A research-led unit at the Royal College of Art that spatalises futures.

Together, we imagine other ways of being and use film as our method to rehearse the not-yet.

We employ queer and feminist approaches to challenge traditional interior and architectural practices.

We use foresight methods, scenario planning, storytelling and world-building to question the role of the built environment and speculate on its possibilities in futures yet to come.

We do not design interiors. We use the interior as a medium; a testing ground for speculating what’s next.

We design worlds. We design stories. Collisions of species and space. 

We bring futures close enough to be felt, not just imagined. 

We embrace diverse multiplicities of possibilities rather than just predicting outcomes.

Because facts alone don’t change behaviours, feelings do.
