Futures 2084

Growing in a Hole

Growing in a Hole

Author: Mariana Cabrera
“In my proposal about what the world will be like in the year 2084, there are parks with artificial vegetation, big houses, cities with many buildings where people prefer to stay in the comfort of their home with technology. Children and adolescents locked up most of the time. Growing up in a hole that will be difficult to get out of in adulthood. There are no problems with fitting into society but there is a feeling of loneliness within each person. A world with little happiness where love is no longer like before; family problems are complicated to solve and there are only few people willing to improve the world. Mariana Cabrera

 

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.

Clarification: 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.
