Throughout the speculative workshop, a scenario addressing the issue of future extreme heat has been developed. Focusing specifically on Milan in 2053, the main consequences of heat on the city itself were listed before examining its impact on individuals. We wanted to highlight the issue of the new environment impacting citizens, particularly through heat and UV rays causing critical health damages such as strokes, skin cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and respiratory issues.
In response to these damages, we have imagined a hypothetical course of action, originating from individuals taking steps to protect themselves. As the scenario is set in Milan, attention was primarily directed towards how people would need to dress in the capital city of fashion. Initially observing a division within the fashion world between luxury and necessity, the focus later shifted towards the development of more of an anarchist movement opposing the luxury world. Based on the scenario a zine was created containing a manifesto and various articles addressing the topic of heatwave in Milan.
