Imaginary Machines (máquinas imaginarias) is a theoretical and practical laboratory exploring architectural imaginaries, artifacts, and devices related to water. It is a space for speculation and critical thinking that views imagination as a necessary tool in shaping new worlds.
What role does water play in our construction of spaces and fictions?
Through lectures, creative exercises, and discussion, the workshop proposes an investigation into the relationship between water and the domestic and urban environment. It takes as its reference points visionary 20th-century architecture, machines and inventions from the 18th and 19th centuries, and ancestral water technologies.
The aim is to imagine new relationships between architecture, city, body, machine, and water, seeking to expand the limits of concrete spaces.
Imaginaries open up and create conversations about our time. It does not seek to discuss grand gestures or massive solutions, but rather discursive imaginaries.
