IV Summer Conference Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa: Future Mobilities
Description
This course delves into advanced visions and scenarios of global mobility, as presented in a series of design and technology projects drafted by students at some of the world’s most prestigious universities for the Gallery of the Future–the gallery that brings to a close the exhibition Motion. Autos, Art, Architecture, curated by Norman Foster for the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. This show, along with its culmination in the Gallery of the Future, is on view from April to September 2022, and will be the backdrop of the conference in the framework of the Summer Course program at UPV-EHU.
Guest speakers at Future Mobilities include faculty members from the Royal College of Art in London, ETH Zurich, Umeå University, TU Delft, MIT Media Lab, Yale University, the University of Tokyo, Politecnico di Milano, Tsinghua University, Universidad de Mondragon, University of Cape Town, Hongik University, Tecnológico de Monterrey, and Universidad de Navarra. The presentation of their research will be accompanied by dialogues with the curatorial team at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Norman Foster Foundation. Through them, the course will give voice to the design teams that have guided international groups of students in the materialization of their visions of mobility in speculative, distant and midterm futures. In so doing, it will address the most urgent questions about the sustainability of local and planetary economies, and the future of human societies driving them.
Objectives
The course is aimed at exploring the future of mobility, as well as the collaboration capabilities of the new generations of designers, engineers, and technologists in the creation of novel scenarios for sustainability and coexistence.
It also seeks to establish futuristic forecast exercises as a powerful tool to analyze the present, connecting the infrastructure narratives of the big industries with the speculative-design and science-fiction narratives that have marked the global culture for the past fifty years.
The course is thus cross-disciplinary, meant as a platform for joint learning, discussion, and exchange for students and professionals in mobility-related fields–from the automotive industry to architecture and urban planning to social and environmental science to, of course, art.
The course highlights the importance of generating critical, context-based hypotheses that account for the new forms of interaction between humans and non-humans in urban, rural, and natural ecosystems.
It will also focus on the movement of people and the transportation of goods at the global level, as well as on reforestation and new sources of energy, in an effort to broaden the perspective on mobility, going beyond the automotive industry and personal mobility.
The ultimate goal is to address all these issues within a context of thought where sustainability, resilience, and the creative transformation of society matter, in the face of today’s threats of irreversible planetary disequilibrium in environmental, material, and cultural terms.

Salomon Frausto
Flora Gaetani
In 2011, I received my PhD degree in Industrial Design and Multimedia Communication at Politecnico di Milano (XXII cycle). Since 2005 I have been collaborating with the School of Design, and since 2011 I have been teaching subjects related to representation (Drawing Studio, Digital Representation Studio, among others) at the BSc in Product Design. Since the same year, I have coordinated the communication activities of the Specializing Master Course in Transportation & Automobile Design, run by Poli.design, which will reach its 14th edition in 2022. From 2017 to 2019, I collaborated with the Department of Design as an external consultant for research activities related to the FARB program "Dal Segno alla Forma". Since December 2019, I have been a research fellow in areas related to representation for Transportation Design. I am working on the BASE-5G project (POR FESR 2014-2020), "Smart vehicles and mobility. Designing scenarios for smart vehicles in future mobility." Currently, I am responsible for XR_CODESTO, a MiniFARB project that aims to explore and test the possibilities of using eXtended Reality (XR) tools in collaborative design sessions during the design process.
