Aqua: máquina de lavar conceitual para o ano de 2030

Abstract

In this Final Course Project was developed the concept of a washing machine for the year 2030, which does not use water as the main resource for cleaning the fabrics. The concept of the product was designed based on Megatrends for the year 2030, which foresee radical changes around the world, among them the increase in the demand for natural resources, due to the great population growth forecast for the coming years. This study was carried out in a completely speculative approach, since the vision of the designer serves to help in the creation of scenarios and considerations on how the future can be. In this way, the goal of the product developed in this project is to promote dialogues, stimulate questions, and incite people's imagination about how the future can be, as well as make them reflect on everyday attitudes that can lead us to such a situation.
