Speculative Design with Eleonore Eisath
Not all design is user-centric design. This episode takes a look at speculative design as a way of exploring the possible futures of our planet. I talk to Ele about how a ski-cabin designed in the 1960s led to her master thesis on worms that can decompose plastic .
