“This image is developed by observing the future from a dystopian vision. A world in ruins, destroyed, where nature does not exist but only the desolation caused by humanity. Cities or public spaces are nothing more than remains of what they used to being. The human species became a slave and totally dependent on a technology that is now its “second skin”, its clothing or its barrier against the outside. There is no life outside of intelligent devices, they provide everything a human needs to its survival. It prevents contact with any foreign element, so the only form of perception and relationship between people is through sight. The senses have been completely distorted, only an illusion of the world created by this technology is perceived. “. Mora Juliana Roca

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.
