2084: A DIORAMA OF THE FUTURE
2084: A Diorama of the Future is an architectural speculation on post-Anthropocene challenges, envisioning a future where some cities lie abandoned while others endure extreme climate conditions. In this scenario, a diverse group of human and non-human explorers parachutes into the year 2084, navigating survival and reconstruction. Unlike 19th-century dioramas that romanticized nature behind glass, this project transforms part of Villa Bagatti Valsecchi’s annexes into a performative device, immersing visitors in damaged landscapes while confronting environmental and societal dilemmas. Within this large space, both performers and visitors take on the role of inhabitants in a changing vivarium, whose evolution challenges the relationship between vision, habitat, and climate change.
