| Sumario: | This paper explores the need for a Design approach in Argentina that is both decolonial and inclusive to address the complex social issues the country is currently facing. The central hypothesis of the work is that a Design model based on complexity theory, co-design, and design for transitions -from a decolonial and non-exclusionary perspective- can be an effective tool to tackle these challenges. It is argued that traditional Eurocentric-focused design models do not align with the realities and needs of the Argentine context.The way in which the importation of foreign design models has perpetuated a colonialist dynamic that overlooks the specificities as well as the cultural diversity of Argentina is analyzed. The need to transcend traditional methodologies and build a Design practice emerging from local realities and taking into account the country’s cultural characteristics is dealt with.Ultimately, the aim is to offer a tool for practicing decolonial and non-exclusionary Design within a framework that leads designers to consider different variables and axes of analysis. This tool -which is introduced as a starting point for a more comprehensive, responsible, and transformative design practice in Argentina- seeks to promote an approach sensitive to local needs and realities regarding the cultural and social diversity of the Argentine context. |
