Bioflame University - Campus of the Future
The scenario describes an education system that is placed in a world characterised by overpopulation and pollution. Spaces for physical universities are rare, so most students attend the much cheaper and more accessible Cyber University. The story is about Samantha, who is considered one of the lucky few to have won a place at Bioflame University – an isolated university campus made up of a self-contained ecosystem located in the outskirts of London. In contrast to the crowded and dirty urban megacities that most people live in, Bioflame is a place with fresh clean water and lots of natural space. However, this comes at a price as students are highly controlled and monitored. Bioflame is run by a private corporation, whose ultimate goal is to harness student intelligence to create better products. It is a future learning environment characterised by corporate power, where students have to confirm to strict rules and deliver results for the company as part of their education contracts.   Project Background The Campus of the Future is the result of collaboration between MA Creative Practice for Narrative Environments, CSM, UAL and Arup Foresight + Innovation. As part of this work, the Global Foresight + Innovation group has invited students from MACPfNE to research and produce scenarios for the Campus of the Future 2030 for inclusion in workshops among public and private stakeholders. The outcome of this work has been four different storyboards and animations/videos that express four possible different scenarios for the Campus of the Future.
