“The most important thing about my job is that the whole world is at the mercy of man and if we do not become aware of the importance of taking care of the planet, forest fires, loss of drinking water, death of multiple species, among others, will occur. Despite all this, the factories still work and pollute. I also believe that in the future clothing will be very free and each person will dress the way they want, putting prejudice aside and I believe that fast fashion will be left behind, much more aside, trying to leave behind the pollution it generates. As for the economy, I think that cryptocurrencies will be used mostly since in the future they will not pollute as much as they do today and will be much safer.” Oriana Agostina Gutierrez

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.
