Open Mycorrhizal Systems
Exploring pathways towards preferable futures
Hello!
I’m Pascal Wicht. I am a strategic designer, creative director, field researcher, futurist and teacher. I help people and organisations navigate towards preferable futures for humanity and adapt to a world of growing problems that don’t go away.
Welcome to my site, where I fuse critical theory with design. My slow-motion blog is here. I am writing a Codex to help designers drive more impact. I am also documenting my strategic design system Wangjitsu.

Moving Beyond Individualism to Embrace Systemic Solutions

Surface vs Structures
Social sciences researchers aim to uncover the deeper structural issues behind problems, going beyond surface-level effects. For designers, this means considering the broader context and systemic factors that contribute to problems.

The Resilient Table
This speculative and generative experiment explores a future scenario of a society that has relocalized and is regenerating most of its food systems, drawing from a blend of traditional practices and cutting-edge innovations.
