Strategic Design Scenarios is a sustainability innovation lab specialised in strategic design, scenario building, co-design with users and community centred approaches.
SDS activities are based on projective techniques such as story-telling, story-boarding, scenarios scripting. In particular SDS co-develops visual forms of scenarios based on short video clips or sequences of still images to facilitate the engagement and the strategic conversation with citizens and local stakeholders.

SDS research activities are focussing social innovation, sustainable living, collaborative services, design for behavioural change, local development and regional/urban planning by an acupuncture of micro-projects.

The lab is active in various fields such as energy use, sustainable cities, public service innovation, emerging uses, interaction design, social inclusion and education. Offices are based in Brussels and offer facilities for co-design and interaction with users. The studio is equipped for video-sketching, rapid prototyping and product-service systems simulation.
