  In Transdisciplinary Design inquiry, the conceptual and ideational need to be clarified when relational and qualitative methodologies are enacted. This is crucial concerning complex, emergent, and urgent matters of climate change, sustainability, and collective citizenship. Theoretically, this paper covers conceptualizing scenarios as part of future-orientated envisioning and sits between design, anticipation, and foresight studies. We then propose three scenario thinking devices based on initial literature review and conceptual positioning to engage scenario thinking. The paper proposes a reframing of scenario thinking by design research as a means to inform clearer scenario building for long term sustainable collaborative futures. Methodologically, we draw on explorative and compositional methodology to reposition scenario thinking as anticipatory scenario building. The three scenario thinking devices are work-in-progress and will be investigated in the field through a series of ongoing research activities.

  This thesis positions scenarios – specifically, scenario building – as a central focus within Design Research, where they function as designed, performative instruments for shaping collaborative, sustainable, and inclusive futures. Through the introduction of a Relational Design Scenarios Approach, the study brings together methods from Scenario Thinking, Scenario Building, Design-Oriented Scenarios, and Design Scenarios, grounding them in a constructivist epistemology and relational ontology. This framework is informed by methodological orientations from Research through Design and a Compositional Methodology by Design Research, and it transdisciplinary integrates the fields of Design Studies and Futures Studies. Two designed instruments of inquiry – the Scenario Thinking Canvas and Scenario Building Cards – are developed and deployed within collaborative engagements as epistemic tools that mediate complexity, anticipate transformation, and make visible power asymmetries in socio-ecological systems. Drawing on Systemic Design, Collaborative Design, and Anticipatory Design, the approach is situated in the Eerste River context in South Africa, where communities navigate ecological degradation and governance exclusion. Adopting a decolonial positionality rooted in Ubuntu philosophy by Design, the study frames futures-making as a process of co-agency and co-becoming. Through iterative co-design workshops, the research demonstrates how scenario building artefacts enact, perform, and mediate futures as situated, ethical, and political acts. It argues that shaping futures is not a matter of prediction, but of relational worldmaking – emergent from plural knowledges, contextual drivers, such as climate change, sustainability and collaborative governance, and normative design orientations toward Designing for Sustainability and Designing for Democracy. This inquiry advocates for a shift in Design Futures where futures are not designed for but with communities, through relational enactments by supporting epistemic justice, redistributing agency, and promoting inclusive and shared futures in the Global South.
