PRESENTATION. “Neutopies. New Utopias and Future Design” book

The book “Neutopies. New Utopias and Future Design” by Oscar Guayabero is a modest attempt to generate spaces for reflection and the projection of non-dystopian future scenarios. The purpose of this book is to encourage the design sector to think about the future and to do so in a proactive manner. We must work to draw these futures, without ignoring the enormous problems that lie ahead of us, nor the complexity of any scenario where humans live collectively and in contact with the environment, whether urban or rural. If we believe that the future is a place where it is worth working, it will be much easier to organize to defend the present, to make the present a space that transforms realities.

The presentation will address these issues in an open and non-dogmatic way in order to focus on what we can do from design to work from today for a tomorrow that, although complex, is at the same time fascinating.
