My first impression was very positive, which was confirmed when I saw the project. An online magazine with high standards in both design and content, addressing a vital issue of our time: sustainability.
As the editor states, “If ever there was a time to consider alternative ways of building a future, it is now.
What we do in this decade will shape the rest of the century.
The Design Museum’s new journal is on a mission to reshape the sustainability discourse.
It is a new platform that aims to publish holistic, actionable, and forward-looking narratives around design and sustainability.
The Future Observatory Journal is now live. The inaugural issue features in-depth and interactive essays, critical analysis, and stunning photography – all platforming vital thinking for designers shaping livable futures around the world.
The first issue of the journal explores bioregioning – the process of paying attention to natural boundaries rather than politically drawn ones.
The journal is an offshoot of the museum’s research center, which has a national design research program for the green transition – and will be published twice a year, with each issue focusing on a new theme.
