SCENARIO MAPPING

Scenario Mapping

The Scenario Mapping workshop was aimed at providing a tool for creating informed scenarios through a ‘scenario game’. In the scenario game each player takes the role of a key actor involved in the scenarios loaction; this then informs the view that a particular player takes. Fed by a series of action cards, actor cards, ‘wild cards’ and inspirational cards’ the scenario is partly played out as a game of chance, however each decision made is informed through the situation research and specific to the scenario unfolding.This way several scenarios can be created; providing situation specific outcomes; of which each in turn could form the direction of our projects.

Scenario Mapping - Group 1

In this scenario game; four players held the roles of Halima (a local social housing resident), EDF energy (a representative of the company due to a power station in place in Colombes), the Political Opposition (Communist), and final Fatima (a local social worker).The scenario played in three rounds followed how the implications of key political and capital players would affect the lives of the local residents. Taking the action cards of Transform, Erase, Originate, and Migrate; the scenario played out demonstrated how through the combination of these actors a series of grass route schemes, backed by a major energy provider and facilitated by politics helped to inform how local food production and local economies could develop.

Scenario making establishes certain narratives in order to interpret the different possibilities of alternative realities and outcomes. These alternatives can be based on varying and overlapping aspects of society formed from key societal factors. These factors being either environmental, financial, social, or political change; these outcomes can radically alter the programme of a project and its initial intentions

scenarioStreet festival by 56 St. Blaise – initiative, rubbish collectors go on strike and the council will not allow the festival. Ini-tiative teenagers take pride in their community, and decide to collect the rubbish themselves by reusing items e.g. from factories etc. to collect rubbish in. This leads to future col-laboration between 56 St. Blaise and teenagers to encour-age reuse. Developer buys up tower blocks 0 to be redevel-oped into more expensive fl ats. Issue to tackle subdivision. Commuter – interested in dealing with subdivision between commuters and locals decides to set up a cooking group in schools. 56 Rue St. Blaise insist that the food used has to be local produce. Leading to confl ict between allotment peo-ple (producing local produce which is used) and supermar-kets. Gardeners are upset and there is an increase in number of homeless because of fl ooding. Allotment people decide they are going to help the homeless by giving them produce – which smart active members will distribute. This leads to a new culture of sharing and creating local food networks. EDFis closed, causing a sudden increase in unemployment. Also have issue of what to do with empty EDF site. Local business and inhabitants get involved and land owners offer land for public use (to generate money to reuse the EDF site). The site will be used to produce food and start a local economy and they have to prove progress/worth to the Mayor with times-cale, funding etc is needed because the Mayor requires it before he/she will allow it to go ahead etc (as Mayor says there is no money available for it).

Scenario Mapping

This scenario game was based around Fosses Jean and Stade, involving the local and non local population, with visiting architects and local professionals as some of the key players. A marker [sweet wrapper] was thrown onto the map to give the players a starting point, from this point a randomly chosen time frame was picked out of a pack, each player then took it in turns to pick out of the situations pack which contained positive and negative situations. The game continued over 5 turns then a new time frame was chosen, each player acted upon their turn.
