💥 We're thrilled to announce a new book 'DESIGNING QUESTIONS'' - authored by our Professor Anab Jain with teaching colleagues Nikolas Heep and Stefan Zinell
@design_investigations is releasing soon!
Emerging from a decade of teaching and learning at the Design Investigations Department
@dieangewandte the book asks: if the answers we've inherited have led us to this moment of profound planetary and societal disquiet, then isn't the most radical act to reclaim the power of the question?
DESIGNING QUESTIONS is both a philosophical manifesto and a practice-led field guide, featuring extraordinary student work from
@design_investigations alongside contributions from Paola Antonelli
@paolantonelli (foreword), Lilli Hollein
@lillihollein (afterword), Fiona Raby
@ny__f Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, Giovanna de Oliveira Andreotti, Zoy Anastassakis, Nana Biamah-Ofosu

Published by
@hatjecantzverlag , produced by the Angewandte Publication department, and edited by Naoki Matsuyama
@nkytsym , the book explores how speculative, ecological, and futures design can help us navigate a deeply complex world with imagination, care, and joy.
For everyone who cares about our futures and is itching to do things differently, we hope this book brings a dose of inspiration from our little corner of the world.
⚡Worldwide release: 18 March 2026

@ronjakappl @hannaktrn @leo.muehlfeld and the extended Angewandte community 💙
