In his bid to discover how design might shape the future, Guest‐Editor Chris Luebkeman went to speak to Paola Antonelli , Senior Curator of the Department of Architecture and Design and Director of Research and Development at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. A passionate advocate of the power of design, Antonelli describes to Luebkeman how design can be a fundamental tool for the future, having the potential to intercede with empathy and a human touch between raw new technological advances and future users, rendering innovative technologies useable and accessible, and ultimately enabling a graceful and poetic end to the world as we know it.
