Above, Vanessa Ware describes the future vision of team Beyond Blueprints. The film is from the exhibition at Form/Desigcenter in Malmö, January 30th- March 16th 2025.
The hummingbird became our symbol of Beyond Blueprints—one of four future scenarios we have developed within The Futures We Build, a project led by Media Evolution and funded by Formas & the Swedish Energy Agency.
Beyond Blueprints – A Vision for Living Cities
The transdisciplinary team behind Beyond Blueprints—Vanessa Ware, Malin Lampa, Maria Lindelöf, Bo Baudin, and myself, Karin Victorin—believes cities should be living, breathing ecosystems, shaped by imagination, adaptability, and co-creation. Instead of static blueprints and rigid masterplans, we need urban environments that grow, regenerate, and respond to life—where people don’t just live, but actively shape the places that care for them.
