  • Future Reflective Backcasting’
    Enabling environmental activists to identify and refine their objectives by using ‘future reflective backcasting’ Lisa George Department of Design Goldsmiths University of London 2011 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Design Declaration I certify that except where due acknowledgement has been made; the material produced in this thesis is that of the author alone. The work has not been submitted previously, in whole or in part, to qualify for any other academic award. The content of this thesis is the result of work carried out since the official commencement date of the approved research program. Page 2 Abstract Future narratives can be a useful way of conceptualising environmental problems and constructing solutions. Existing ecological future narratives such as sustainable futures and global warming have been effective at relaying the seriousness and scale of ecological problems but they can also be ambiguous, overwhelming and lead to stasis. In this research, I explore backcasting as a useful mechanism for creating detailed preferred futures and mapping out how those future states can be realised. During my exploration of backasting processes, I identify the possibility for backcasting to move beyond a simple outcome-driven process and instead become a process that creates a space for reflection, formulating and reformulating solutions. I examine four case studies: Cradle-to-Cradle, Transition Towns, Melbourne 2032 and case study 4 which involves 5 workshops in 3 secondary schools. These illustrations present how the creation of alternative futures can be used to address ecological problems. I developed, tested and participated in a variation of backcasting, called future reflective backcasting, in a workshop format.
