What if the future of travel is about slowing down? The Ambuyat Protocol: Reimagining Flight by Alif Rahman
A speculative design project exploring localized, hydrogen airship travel powered by sago palm bio-fuel in 2026 Brunei.
Project Link: design-frontier.com
The future of flight isn't always about soaring higher. In 2026, the Ambuyat Protocol, born in Brunei, embraced localized, low-altitude air travel using hydrogen airships fueled by a novel bio-integrated fuel sourced from sago palm. This speculative project satirizes the global obsession with speed, suggesting a return to slower, more sustainable travel informed by traditional resource management.
Brunei in 2026 embodies a harmonious blend of tradition and technology. Following a global shift towards localized economies, Brunei, prioritizing ecological balance, adopted the Ambuyat Protocol. Hydrogen airships drift across the lush rainforest canopy, reflecting the nation's commitment to slow, sustainable travel. This world values community and local resources, fostering resilience in the face of global resource constraints. The sago palm, historically a food staple, finds new life as a clean energy source, seamlessly integrated into daily life.
The Ambuyat Protocol prompts reflection on our current unsustainable reliance on globalized transport systems. Consider the environmental and social costs of our current trajectory. Does our future necessitate ever-increasing speed, or could embracing slower, localized solutions offer a more sustainable and equitable path forward?
We hope this episode sparked your imagination and offered new perspectives on the fascinating intersection of design, technology, and culture. If you enjoyed this journey into speculative design, don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others who might love exploring the possibilities of tomorrow. Until tomorrow, keep dreaming, imagining, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. See you in the future!
