the office for speculative spatial design the UK’s newest independent ThinkTank for spatial design which works towards policy change for a more just and inclusive society
O-SSD is inspired by our near-future design studio, the Near Futurists Alliance taught in Brighton - now in its fourth year the NFA allows students to practice design-led-research projects and study interiority as a concept far beyond the basic premise of enclosure
we speculate upon the nature of our near-future human needs and wants and brings together three key areas of interest; human behaviour, spatial design and speculative design and uses speculative design methodologies as the vehicle for exploring how human behavioural changes impact the ways in which we design and inhabit space
