Different modalities of future
• design science (possible futures >)
• empirical science (probable futures >)
• policy (desirable futures >)
![Page 4: Policy, research and design as different language games Prof.dr.ir. Taeke M. de Jong chair Technical Ecology, chair Regional Design, assignment Methodology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649edc5503460f94bec3a1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Probable futures
There are more and less probable futures
![Page 5: Policy, research and design as different language games Prof.dr.ir. Taeke M. de Jong chair Technical Ecology, chair Regional Design, assignment Methodology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649edc5503460f94bec3a1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
chance
Probability,the core of empirical science
![Page 6: Policy, research and design as different language games Prof.dr.ir. Taeke M. de Jong chair Technical Ecology, chair Regional Design, assignment Methodology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649edc5503460f94bec3a1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Possible futures
Anything probable is per definition possible but not everything possible is also probable.
A probable future could be predicted.
Improbable possibilities cannot be predicted.You only can explore them by design.

Are they relevant as long as nobody wants them?

Subtracting futures
• Field of problems = Probable - Desirable
• Field of Aims = Desirable - Probable

Design study or empirical research
• Design produces possibilities by conditions
• Research produces probabilities by causes

Diversity as a hidden supposition
• risk-cover for life• precondition of
– communication– trade, economy– possibility of choice for future generations
• uniqueness of individual and context• quality of human living
So, ‘average’ is useless where exceptions survive: in ecology, evolutionary theory, management and design science.

Diversity as a first condition
• The intellectual challenge of this century is to handle diversity– instead of generalising it by statistical reduction.
• Generalising research has diminishing returns– what could be generalised is generalised in
centuries of empirical research.
• Problems left are context sensitive problems– object of design: generating study.

Ways to study spatial design
Preface by Rector Fokkema“Within the range of a technical university the object of design – in terms of (urban) architecture and technique – is the design subject that is amongst all others most sensitive to context.The programme of requirements is not only derived from an economical and technical context, but also from contexts hailing from political, cultural, ecological en spatial considerations; on many levels of scale.” >

Impact analysis presupposes a perspective of future contexts

Subtracting futures
• Field of problems = Probable - Desirable
• Field of Aims = Desirable - Probable
![Page 34: Policy, research and design as different language games Prof.dr.ir. Taeke M. de Jong chair Technical Ecology, chair Regional Design, assignment Methodology](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649edc5503460f94bec3a1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Explicit future context
• protects your study against judgements with other suppositions about the future context
• raises the debate about the robustness of your study in different future contexts
• raises a ‘field of problems’ instead of an isolated ‘problem statement’ by subtracting desirable futures from the probable ones
• makes your study comparable to others concerning comparable contexts
