INTERDISCIPLINARITY AND DESIGN. A VISSION

Main Article Content

Josep Tresserras Picas
Nowadays, the discipline of design incorporates more complexity due
to the influence of scientific and technologica advances, the new materials,
processes and a further development of TIC technologies, without
forgetting the socioeconomic and market requirements. As a result, a
greater number of interrelated disciplines within the field of design
performance is appreciated especially in conceptual and project aspects.
This new situation has enhanced prescriptive approaches to the design
project, generating a high degree of interdisciplinarity in greater breadth
and scope in the project activity.
The interdisciplinarity in the design focuses not only within the creative
process but also in the own conceptualization reasoning and structural
approaches in the project.
In relation to the design training, in the context of universities, we must
reconsider pedagogical approaches to the increasing role of interdisciplinarity.
This forces to redefine curricula where the projects subjects will be the
backbone of the training activity. Considering projects of increasing
complexity and where the other subjects taught will interrelate with the
project proposals, providing expertise, methodologies, techniques and
tools. This facilitates a greater definition and effectiveness in the result.
