“By the year 2084, humanity will have consolidated into a united society where differences are set aside to learn how to restore the world, which has been a victim of the poor care of previous generations. Modern buildings are based on structures that share space with plants to reduce pollutants like CO2. As for technologies, they will have evolved to the point of merging with humans, with integrated chips that facilitate access to new technologies. Similarly, AI has increased over the years, becoming machines that help carry out heavy human tasks and streamline processes for the benefit of the planet and humanity.” Alisson Abigail Farez Tello

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.
