The document summarizes a future scenarios workshop that was held in Singapore in September 2009. The workshop focused on validating design patterns by applying them to novel problems, and telling stories to derive pattern solutions. Participants were asked to describe a current design challenge as a fantasy story and then use patterns to solve the imagined problem. The document provides an overview of how patterns can be mapped and related in terms of time, scope, and relationships. It also presents a scenario where participants are asked to define the context of a residential advisor for the next year and describe a problem they may encounter to test the patterns.
