Earth Overshoot Project
Seit 1970 leben wir über unsere Verhältnisse, wir verbrauchen mehr, als die Erde hergibt (Overshoot). Wie sähe unser Leben aus, wenn wir stattdessen innerhalb unserer Limitationen geblieben wären? Was wäre hinsichtlich Transport, Wohnen, Ernährung, Freizeit anders als heute, was wäre gleich geblieben? Diese Fragen haben die Studierenden aus dem ersten Semester des Masters CDS mit „Speculative Design“ beantwortet.
Since 1970, we have been living beyond our means—consuming more than the Earth can sustainably provide (overshoot). What would life look like if, instead, we had stayed within planetary limits? How would transport, housing, nutrition, and leisure differ from today—and what would have remained the same? Students from the first semester of the Master’s program CDS explored these questions through speculative design, developing alternative futures that translate ecological constraints into everyday practices, systems, and cultural norms.
