Degree capsule
The following conceptual works were carried out in the academic field of undergraduate studies by students of the courses of Clothing Design, Textile Design and Industrial Design UBA, FADU.
The theoretical and practical content addressed in the explorations was provided by the academic research field developed by the teaching-research team and interdisciplinary guests, without a suitable biotechnology laboratory, in order to stimulate new epistemological practices linking design and biotechnology, socializing the advances achieved in the different areas of postgraduate studies and research.
Search for a broader horizon that allows us to observe and reflect on the way in which design takes on a leading role in social innovation. At the same time, integrating a trans and interdisciplinary vision, where biology and design are linked to exercise a conceptual and innovative approach.
Teaching-research team: Lorena Bonilla, Gabriel Oubel, Brandetti Leonel.
