The D.W.W. (Detroit-Windsor-Waawiyaataanong) Urbiome, aka Dee Double Dub, is a vast ecologically integrated metropolis situated on the Detroit River in the Southern Great Lakes Eco-region.  It is a radically optimistic speculative  vision of a benevolent civic structure that has evolved to enable all of its inhabitants, human and otherwise, to thrive.

Dee Double Dub is described in a 12 page comic called Welcome to Dee Double Dub. This artwork  was created for  Future Present: Design in a Time of Urgency, an exhibition  presented by Science Gallery Detroit in the fall of 2020.

Workshop

In this workshop, hosted by Science Gallery Detroit, I will explain how I created Welcome to Dee Double Dub using a speculative design methodology called Future Parfait. Join us for a short presentation about Future Parfait, after which I'll guide participants through a series of visualization activities that will begin their own exploration into imagining and drawing out their own ideal worlds.
