Innovative solutions are critical in an era marked by global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, and urbanization. The FictionXR Framework integrates Extended Reality (XR) with Design Fiction and Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) prototyping to create and think about future spaces with XR tech implementation. This novel integration facilitates discussions about the fusion of the virtual and physical domains and offers an immersive platform for architects to experience and design for future challenges. Through a preliminary study involving newly graduated architects, the efficacy of the framework was tested, shedding light on its potential to catalyze creativity and facilitate collaborative design endeavors. The feedback gathered underscores the promise of the FictionXR Framework, with participants generating speculative narratives and visions while gaining a deeper appreciation for the interplay of XR within architectural contexts. This research explores innovative approaches to architectural practice by combining Design Fiction and Sci-Fi prototyping. It aims to develop strategies that can effectively respond to emerging challenges while embracing imaginative possibilities.
