Board 1 - This project attempts to question the practice of master planning. A master plan is one man's future being forced upon others, a scenario plan differs in that it accepts multiple potential futures, but many fail because they suggest these as options. Fu=MA attempts to bridge the gap between the enactability of master planning and the multiplicity of scenario planning by mapping multiple futures and then focusing on points of critical mass.
