Abstract
This work synthesizes two didactic experiences carried out in the Digital Graphics Workshop, an optional course of the School of Architecture, Design, and Urbanism of the Universidad Nacional del Litoral, based in the city of Santa Fe (Argentina). The workshop proposes a transdisciplinary look that integrates knowledge and practices of three careers—architecture, visual communication design, and industrial design—to achieve a creative appropriation of the available technological instruments, in order to contribute from the design to specific problematic situations. From the professorship, we take ICT as a means to operate in the design processes, either in the ideation, development, production and/or communication stage. Technologies are not an end in themselves but a means to enhance our practices as designers operating in a community. Thus, the question is not what can we do with the available technologies? But, in what way, can we use them to help improve the living conditions of our society?
