Designing toward the future. The project as a tactical tool for shaping utopias

The traditionally intended project is, somehow, ontologically false, because it tries to model the future while, indeed, it is nothing more than a model of expectations for a desired future. This also means that utopias are impossible to realize not because of their revolutionary nature, but because they describe futures: that is, they imagine a future without taking into account that, even by imagining it, we are already changing it. Thus, a utopia describing future spaces by forcing their facticity will surely fail, but evolving the project into a tactical tool makes it possible to realise utopias defining the qualities of those spaces and their performativity.
