A three-day collaborative workshop held as part of the Public Design Festival 2022 in Seoul, connected to one of the festival’s main theme exhibitions. The workshop explored creative and practical approaches to the climate crisis through design, guiding participants to develop manuals addressing everyday and speculative scenarios via three methodologies – Diagram (thinking), Action (moving), and Tool (making). Led by designers James Chae, Yejin Cho, and Goeun Park, the programme combined lectures, hands-on activities, and peer critique. The outcomes – graphic manuals, prototypes, and an open-access PDF – were publicly displayed within the exhibition space as part of the festival.
Workshop OverviewClimate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, shaping how we will live on Earth in the future. As humans, we often face it with limited options, accompanied by feelings of anxiety, despair, and helplessness. As designers, however, we have the power to imagine new futures through creativity, imagination, and collaboration. Over three days, participants will draw on their everyday experiences and senses to create manuals for confronting the reality of climate change. These manuals will explore responses closely tied to daily life – from practical, real-world measures to whimsical or humorous fictional scenarios. The workshop experiments with design solutions for addressing the climate crisis through three distinct methodologies: Diagram (thinking), Action (moving), and Tool (making).
