“I believe that by 2084, capitalism will end up polluting even more, and this will make Argentina an oxygen exporter (3), since oxygen will be much more valuable. Another consequence of pollution will be that all homes will now be required to have a tree (2), and this tree will be cared for by the family. Finally, I believe it will be normal to have electronic devices implanted in our bodies (4), and I also believe that medicine will improve so much that a way for humans to photosynthesize will be created (1), and we will end world hunger.
In this activity, I focused on answering the following questions:
What will economic exchanges be like?
What will encounters between people be like?
How will the home be connected to the environment?
What will green spaces, terraces, and open spaces be like?
How will this affect the body’s physiology?
How do you imagine advertising in these spaces?” Ignacio Cuevillas
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.
