“My proposal about the imagined future activity is to represent what from my perspective would happen in the year 2084. Mainly, a chaos where in the center we observe an explosion coming from a bomb that was responsible for destroying its surroundings. Also, drones and flying cars that cause a lot of damage to the environment, the drone even damaged two birds that were flying by. The person near the center represents the few people who are in charge of thinking about our future and tries from a place of love and understanding to help the planet in any way possible. Even so, they are people who suffer too much because they feel that everything is slipping away. Regarding colors, each one of them has a meaning. The various personalities reflected through the buildings are also reflected in the colors; red in this case is used as an expansive danger.” Martina Moncho

This imagination is part of the pedagogical proposal of the Ecenarro Turrillo Chair, Introducción al Conocimiento Proyectual 1 (ICP 1), Ciclo Básico Común (CBC), Universidad de Buenos Aires UBA. It corresponds to the initial sketch exercise of the first semester of 2022, linked to the Program 2084 Imagined Futures from the South.

Students were invited to dream and develop utopias with the precept of traveling to the future, the year 2084, and propose imaginations/transformations, understanding that design and its project disciplines are tools to improve contemporary and everyday living, with a sustainable commitment.

The teaching team was composed by Graciela Ecenarro, Andrea Santangelo, Silvina de Gennaro, Juan I. Cabello, Florencia de la Quintana, Natalia Naredo, Luciana Quartaruolo, Santiago Ortí, Andrea López y Natalia Ardissone.

Note: given that some of the imaginations have been delivered without titles, from the editing area of 2084 Futures Imagined from the South, we decided to give them a title with the intention of matching them with others that do have, helping to distinguish them.
