No physical office, “pop up” concept; we go to the policy makers.

Speculative DesignSpeculative designChallenges for Government
1. Need to relate to evidence and possible paths to the future. This is not fantasy.
2. Need to set expectation that this is not prediction.
3. Need to have time to step back, imagine and follow things through to the logical conclusion.
