This project delves into Speculative Design's relevance, particularly in the Global South's underrepresented context, aiming to bridge this gap. It emphasizes narrative development in design processes, building empathy and responsibility, especially for spatial designers. Through fiction and media analysis, it initiates dialogue on speculated futures' impacts. The research also explores tools' roles in representing fictional worlds and categorizing elements within narratives. It culminates in a prototype game event, engaging spatial designers and other professionals in this discourse.
