Desafíos de diseño e innovación sostenible en las PYMEs de la región del Biobío, Chile / Sustainability and innovation design challenges in the SMEs of the Biobío Region
(Universidad del Desarrollo. Facultad de Diseño, 2023) Toledo, Ignacio; Contreras, Paulina; Mundaca, Cristián
This qualitative study explored the application of sustainable design and innovation approaches in SMEs in the Biobío Region through semi-structured interviews. Advances and gaps were identified in the design and innovation ecosystem and in adopting sustainable design. Despite progress in supply and demand for design, there are still challenges, such as a lack of awareness of its benefits, low valuation, and the perception of design as an accessory attribute. To be part of a new global Bauhaus, the region must strengthen its design ecosystem, invest in research and development, promote collaboration between designers and companies, improve infrastructure, and establish specific support policies and funding. These efforts can boost SMEs' innovation, competitiveness, and responsibility and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Diseño y sistemas hidropónicos: perspectivas desde y para el Norte y Sur Global / Design and hydroponic systems: perspectives for and from the Global North and South
(Universidad del Desarrollo. Facultad de Diseño, 2023) Inglese, Giovanni
In facing the complexity of the challenge posed by urban growth and increasing world population, design disciplines are called upon to question new strategies to mitigate their impact on biodiversity and the food production system. In this context, hydroponics represents a viable solution to help re-establish a connection with nature and to create productive greenery within the most diverse contexts. Although the potential of these systems is widely discussed from various perspectives, there is a lack of comparative and evaluative studies illustrating their potential for designers. Through the analysis of literature and case studies focusing on hydroponic crops, we intend to investigate the possibilities and criticalities offered not only for food production but also as a means to improve degraded contexts, trigger social innovation movements and restore identity and livelihood to people and territories. By comparing projects implemented at different latitudes and the transfer of solutions from one context to another, we intend to provide Design with virtuous models, integrating perspectives from the Global North and South, for a better understanding and new project management of these systems.
Editorial: Una nueva Bauhaus verde desde el Sur Global / A New Green Bauhaus from the Global South
(Universidad del Desarrollo. Faculrad de Diseño, 2023) Novoa Muñoz, Mauricio; Vargas Callegari, Rodrigo
This special issue of Base, Diseño e Innovación focuses on the potential for a New Green Bauhaus from the Global South by educators, researchers and practitioners who live in or work on projects connected to that region as we hear alarming fore-casts on climate change, north-south and east-west geopoliti-cal push-pull, economic downturns, and social upheavals. The concept of a Green Bauhaus from the Global South responds to the proposal of a New European Bauhaus launched in 2020 by the European Commission with a New Green Deal ambition to become the first climate-neutral continent in the world by 2050 through decoupling growth from resource use and the aim of not leaving behind any people or territories in the process. The European Green Deal is as much an environmental and econo-mic plan, as it represents their cultural shift towards bottom-up participatory approaches and systemic and policy changes to make ecological transition closer to citizens, communities, and territories (Fetting, 2020; Rosana, 2021).
La educación del diseño frente al reto de la crisis socioambiental / Design education and the challenge of the socio-environmental civilization crisis
(Universidad del Desarrollo. Facultad de Diseño, 2023) Garduño Barahona, Aralia María
The current challenge of design education is to obtain favourable results for biodiversity and individuals by generating skills, abilities, and knowledge that integrate the epistemological bases of the activity and form future designers as agents of change. In this way, by providing them with skills and capacities to generate innovation, their profile will allow them to develop solutions that address the complexity of the socio-environmental crisis that afflicts us. Possible fields of action for design to generate holistic development proposals that respect ideological, political, institutional, and technological conditions are outlined. These favour the conservation-regeneration of resources in the territories of the global south, where design can guide social innovation through strategies that promote a new negentropic productive paradigm that ensures the sustainability of life for all.
Los aportes de la pedagogía crítica de Paulo Freire al diseño emancipador: de la invasión cultural a la síntesis cultural / Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy contributions to emancipatory design: From cultural invasion towards cultural synthesis
(Universidad del Desarrollo. Facultad de Diseño, 2023) Mazzarotto, Marco
In the quest to overcome the oppression caused by the capitalist modern/colonial world system, we propose the approach still under construction of emancipatory design, based on Paulo Freires’s critical pedagogy. If hegemonic design reinforces oppressive relations through antidialogical practices and cultural invasion, emancipatory design seeks to fight against them through dialog and cultural synthesis of different voices. Throughout the text, invasion and cultural synthesis are defined and examples are analyzed from the author’s experience with design in partnership with social movements in southern Brazil.
Re-pensar la artificialidad desde el Sur Global: cuatro núcleos de acción para el diseño / Re-thinking artificiality from the Global South: Four action cores for design
(Universidad del Desarrollo. Facultad de Diseño, 2023) Ceja Bravo, Leobardo Armando; Ceja Bravo, Liliana
As a way to confront the predominant practice in design, it is necessary to make visible other ways of approaching reality. This work reflects on ways to re-link the world of the artificial from the global south, through an epistemology of the south. In that sense, an ecology of knowledge and a reading of reality will be required in which, of course, a pedagogy of conflict will be denoted. The permanence of an hegemonic order, from which activities are classified, determines and conditions other design possibilities; same ones that exist even though they are not necessarily recognized and validated within some contexts but that, in others, have total validity, acceptance and relevance. The designer must ensure that each action, each process, each material used, respects the various forms of life, so it will be urgent for the design disciplines to re-formulate the principles, foundations, implications and effects that their work entails. We seek, through what we have called action cores for design, a joint reflection on an ethical and political procedure and a deep respect for life.
Una economía circular: el hilo de la ética, desde una aguja diseñada hacia un horizonte sostenible / Revalue sartorial culture for a circular economy: the thread of ethics, from a designed needle towards a sustainable horizon
(Universidad del Desarrollo. Facultad de Diseño, 2023) Lopez, Cristina Amalia
This study raises the role that sartorial culture can play in slowing the impact of environmental pollution caused by the fashion industry. The objective is to transform design education with an ecological interdisciplinary pedagogy. The methodology focuses on reviewing and analysing the existing literature on the topic, examining proposals from experts and sectoral institutional contributions. The results highlight the importance of a circular approach in fashion, encouraging reuse, recycling, and extending the useful life of garments. Within the framework of a New Bauhaus – arising from the South-South – the aim is to promote conscious and sustainable fashion that integrates aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability under a drive towards circularity, social inclusion, and fair trade, where Fashion businesses make their footprint transparent. It is proposed to revalue the art of tailoring, sewing techniques and the craft, combining them with technology that allows maintaining quality and innovating in the design and production process in such a way that a search for synergy between science, technique, art and service within a circular economy, where the protagonists reflect on the manufacturing processes and the negative impact of excessive consumption that significantly affects the environment.
