Description: Architectural discourse must evolve to address environmental challenges, technological disruptions, and societal shifts through future-oriented thinking. Existing methodologies often lack structured approaches to long-term uncertainties. This paper introduces the Strategic Speculative Futures Framework (SSFF), which integrates systems thinking, strategic foresight, and speculative design for architecture and sustainable development. SSFF explores multiple future scenarios, identifying gaps in architectural discourse and proposing adaptive strategies. This study synthesises insights from systems thinking and futures studies using a qualitative, conceptual approach. While still theoretical, SSFF offers a structured pathway to rethink sustainability, advocating for architects, educators, and researchers to engage in future-oriented design.
