Critical Speculative Design
Urbanism of Care, a speculative design project exploring a future city organized around emotional regulation, collective care, and biological rhythms. The project translates psychobiological concepts such as nesting, vulnerability, and affective infrastructure into tangible design artifacts - including responsive urban environments, emotional textile interfaces, and care-oriented public objects.
Using an AI-centered creative workflow, I developed the visual world, narrative, and cinematic documentation of the project. ChatGPT supported concept development, research synthesis, and prompt engineering; Midjourney was used to generate the speculative visual language and design artifacts; Flow (Google Labs) enabled AI-based video creation and editing to produce a documentary-style narrative; and AI voice tools were used to create synthetic narration.
The project demonstrates how generative AI can function as a design partne- transforming abstract research into coherent visual systems, narrative worlds, and experiential prototypes.
