Abstract

With the involvement of new technologies, an ever decreasingly Euclidian is emerging, and a new concept of mobility is appearing, leading us to ask ourselves: ‘What will the future of the automobile be 200 years after its birth? Will new forms of movement emerge?’. Based on these questions, the exhibition Motion. Autos, Art, Architecture, the Norman Foster Foundation, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao invited a younger generation of students from 15 design and architecture schools on four continents to imagine what mobility might be. Among them, Politecnico di Milano presented Autof!cina Futuro, an interactive installation that, with multimedia content, responds to the presence and gestures of people. It recalls the idea of the carrozzeria (auto body shop) as a place of production and experi- mentation, but it looks far into the future, narrating multiple scenarios for tomorrow’s individuals and users. This transdisciplinary project works on different dimensional scales and plays with extremes. On the one hand, it !ts the smallest scale of the book (XS), being designed as a single installation with high atten- tion to detail; on the other hand, it opens up a considerable complexity of thought and vision (XXL), affecting not only functional but envi- ronmental and social issues. Autof!cina Futuro makes us think that mobility is now inextricable from the collective dimension and the sense of responsibility. How we reinvent our ‘movement’ is a crucial aspect of a global society.
