DISARQ
Contributions from architecture to the theory, pedagogy and knowledge dissemination of design Spanish (1925-1975)
The project proposes to investigate the contribution of the architect in the process of conformation of the design as an independent discipline in Spain in the period 1925-1975 from the theoretical, pedagogical and divulgation fields.
The field of design in general, and industrial in particular, did not emerge in Spain as an independent discipline until almost the last third of the twentieth century. In the beginning, agents from different spheres intervened, from the creative to the industrial, passing through art or politics. The architect played an essential role, as he carried out a work of assimilation of the currents of his environment and dissemination of the new lines of work. The starting hypothesis is that there is a latent theoretical corpus elaborated by architects, together with other professionals, which has not been analyzed so far. This corpus would have largely defined the Spanish design , would have favored its appearance as an independent discipline and would have helped to assimilate the modern language.
The general objectives of project are:
To highlight the theoretical and intellectual, pedagogical and informative work led between 1925 and 1975 by the architect at partnership with professionals from the fields of industry, art and decoration.
To bring together and evaluate all the theoretical, pedagogical and informative contributions made by this group.
To bring to light the intellectual role of women as creators and drivers of change in everyday objects.
