Abstract

Since some time it can be observed a transition from state initiatives led to promote the dissemination of Chilean design, to initiatives that encourage its application in diverse sectors of social life, aiming to generate social and economic benefits. Hence, the question comes about on what is the role the Chilean State allocates upon Design in the society that aspires to build and how the academic curricula are aligned with these requirements. About fifty years after its closure, it becomes necessary to rediscover the HfG-Ulm to understand the principles employed to develop its educational model, distancing itself from arts and crafts schools and responding to the moral and material reconstruction of the country. This paper seeks to analyse this pedagogical proposal as a way to understand Design and its integration into the social frame. The reflection becomes effective because although, the Chilean State has incorporated Design into various initiatives; a unified vision of what design is, and can get to do for the country still is under construction. Moreover, the question about the purpose of disciplinary training is far from resolved and generate consensus.
