我们力图将未来思维(Futures Thinking)融入设计创新,为设计赋予未来变量,通过未来审视当下设计与技术发展路径,具备愿景预见的洞察力;我们力图将未来素养融入社会创新,在产品与服务创新实践中融入对世界观、价值观的社会人文视角宏观思考,成为塑造未来的行动派。
We strive to integrate Futures Thinking into design innovation, infusing future variables into design practice while critically examining current trajectories of design and technological development through a futuring lens, thereby cultivating visionary foresight. Simultaneously, we endeavor to embed Futures Literacy into social innovation, incorporating macro-level socio-humanistic perspectives on worldviews and values into product and service innovation practices, ultimately positioning ourselves as proactive agents in shaping tomorrow.
设计未来(Design Futures)课题组由清华大学美术学院信息艺术设计系付志勇副教授主持,依托清华大学艺术与科技创新基地和清华大学中意设计创新基地,立足设计未来研究,聚焦前沿创新理论、工具与实践方法,不断推进未来素养(Futures Literacy)与未来福祉,以期与各领域涉众共同创造弹性、繁荣、包容与可持续的未来。
.The Design Futures Research Group, led by Associate Professor Zhiyong Fu from the Department of Information Art & Design at Tsinghua University's Academy of Arts & Design, operates under the auspices of Tsinghua’s Art & Technology Innovation Platform and the Tsinghua-Milan Design Innovation Hub. Rooted in Design Futures scholarship, the group focuses on advancing cutting-edge theoretical frameworks, tools, and practical methodologies to enhance Futures Literacy and future well-being. Through cross-sector collaboration with diverse stakeholders, we collectively strive to co-create resilient, prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable futures.

团队面向可持续发展带来的挑战,基于开放创新模式,在信息科技支持下,为城市更新、乡村振兴和社区营造提供新的思考路径和解决之道,以主动设计和跨界创新应对抗解问题。
团队立足数字化、网络化和智能化的社会技术语境,聚焦从“美好生活”到“未来福祉”的范式转型,结合元宇宙,探索未来导向的产品服务及经济模式,为企业和公众创造新价值。
团队面向人类命运共同体建设的共性问题,围绕设计未来的理论与实践,通过会议与工坊、创作与展览、赛事与孵化的形式,汇聚青年力量与智库网络,以国际化行动贡献中国智慧。
Addressing challenges posed by sustainable development, the team leverages open innovation models and information technologies to propose novel pathways for urban renewal, rural revitalization, and community building. Through proactive design and transdisciplinary innovation, we tackle wicked problems in complex socio-technical systems.
Operating within digitized, networked, and intelligent socio-technical contexts, the team investigates paradigm shifts from "quality living" to "future well-being." By integrating metaverse frameworks, we explore future-oriented product-service systems and economic models, generating new value for enterprises and the public.
Focusing on shared challenges in building a community with a shared future for humanity, the team advances Design Futures theory and practice through conferences, workshops, creative productions, exhibitions, competitions, and incubation programs. By mobilizing youth empowerment and global think-tank networks, we contribute Chinese insights to international actions.
