最近的推测性和批判性设计实践可能会批评技术的主导社会文化假设，但往往缺乏学术和专业设计师特权领域之外的多样性和参与性投入。本文研究了与当地社区一起设计投机未来的过程和潜力，以便共同想象服务于共同利益并强化当地身份的技术。这项研究反映了“桑科法市”项目，这是一个为期三个月的社区-大学合作项目，以洛杉矶南部的一个历史悠久的黑人社区为基础。该项目利用设计虚构场景视频和拼贴画，向当地利益相关者会议和公众展示具有挑衅性的设计概念。本文分析了共同设计新兴技术（例如增强现实和自动驾驶汽车）的方法和结果，以便为长期战略和创新的替代文化模式建立“想象力的基础设施”。
Recent speculative and critical design practices may critique the dominant socio-cultural assumptions of technologies, but often lack diversity and participatory input outside the privileged realm of academic and professional designers. This paper investigates the process and potential of designing speculative futures with local communities, in order to collectively imagine technology that serves a common good and reinforces local identity. This study reflects on the "Sankofa City" project, a three-month community-university collaboration based in a historically black neighborhood in South Los Angeles. The project utilized design fiction scenario videos and collages to present provocative design concepts to local stakeholder meetings and the general public. This paper analyzes the methodology and outcomes of co-designing emerging technologies (such as augmented reality and self-driving cars) in order to establish "infrastructures of the imagination" for long-term strategies and alternative cultural models of innovation.
