Abstrakt: The text discusses the concept of geodesign, which involves using geographic information systems (GIS) and other tools to make informed design decisions. It explores the history of GIS and its emergence as a multidisciplinary field. The text also examines the relationship between geodesign and geography, as well as the role of climate models in shaping design responses to the climate crisis. It concludes by discussing the potential of geodesign to imagine and create alternative worlds. The text emphasizes the importance of situated knowledge and the need to move away from abstract global perspectives. Geodesign is seen as a speculative and imaginative practice that can help create alternative descriptions and narratives about the Earth and its inhabitants. The text also highlights the role of storytelling and fiction in shaping our understanding of the world and offers examples of design practices that engage with these ideas. Ultimately, geodesign is presented as a way to resist the dominant systems of power and envision new possibilities for the future. [Extracted from the article]
