THE PRESENT STUDY RESEARCH IS FOCUSED ON INNOVATION IN THE USE OF MDF (MEDIUM-DENSITY FIBERBOARD) FOR INDOOR COATING IN WAITING AREAS, INCORPORATING TEXTURE AS A DIFFERENTIATION FACTOR FOR SURFACE FINISHINGS MARKETED UNDER HIGHLY TECHNICAL AND AESTHETICAL REQUIREMENTS. METHODS USED IN AFFECTIVE ENGINEERING ARE INCORPORATED IN THE DESIGN PROCESS TO DEVISE PRODUCTS THAT SATISFY USER'S EMOTIONAL NEEDS. THE EVOLUTION OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT FROM A FUNCTIONAL/PRACTICAL DESIGN TO AN EMOTIONAL DESIGN THAT CREATES LINKS WITH USERS IS OBSERVED, WHERE THE WAY TO COLLECT PERCEPTUAL REACTIONS TO STIMULI BECOMES AN IMPORTANT WEIGHTING TOOL INTEGRATED INTO THE DESIGN PROCESS. THE SEMANTIC DIFFERENTIAL METHOD, ONE OF THE MOST USED ONES IN AFFECTIVE ENGINEERING TO COLLECT EMOTIONAL DATA IS VALIDATED AS ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY IN THE DESIGN IDEATION PROCESS. INTERVIEWS TO 108 INDIVIDUALS WERE CARRIED OUT TO KNOW ABOUT THE EMOTIONS THEY FELT AND WOULD LIKE TO FEEL IN WAITING AREAS. WITH THIS INFORMATION, 16 TEXTURES CONSISTENT WITH THE EXPECTED EMOTIONS WERE DESIGNED AND PROTOTYPES MANUFACTURED TO BE SUBJECTED TO FOCUS GROUPS. THE RESULTS CONFIRM THE EXISTING CORRELATION BETWEEN PREDETERMINED EMOTIONS AND TEXTURES FOR WAITING AREAS, DEMONSTRATING THAT THE DESIGN IDEATION PROCESS CAN BE IMPROVED BY INTEGRATING A METHODOLOGY FROM AFFECTIVE ENGINEERING, SUCH AS THE SEMANTIC DIFFERENTIAL APPLIED TO THE STUDY OF USERS.

EL LIBRO TRATA SOBRE EL ENFOQUE EDUCATIVO APRENDIZAJE BASADO EN DISEÑAR, EL CUAL UTILIZA LOS SABERES Y HABERES DEL EJERCICIO Y EDUCACIÓN EN DISEÑO EN OTROS CONTEXTOS EDUCATIVOS CON EL PROPÓSITO DE MEJORAR LOS APRENDIZAJES. EL LIBRO PRESENTA UNA INTRODUCCIÓN AL TEMA SEGUIDO DE UNA DESCRIPCIÓN DE UN PROYECTO EN EL QUE SE DESARROLLA UN MODELO DIDÁCTICO BASADO EN EL ENFOQUE. SEGUIDAMENTE, SE PRESENTAN CASOS DE ESTUDIO EN LOS QUE SE APLICA EL MODELO, Y SE ENTREGAN RECOMENDACIONES PARA SU IMPLEMENTACIÓN EN EL AULA.

LOS PARADIGMAS ACTUALES DE LA EDUCACIÓN ESCOLAR EN CHILE, HAN DELATADO DEBILIDADES EN LA DIDÁCTICA, ASÍ COMO METODOLOGÍAS DE ENSEÑANZA DESVINCULADAS DEL CONTEXTO EN QUE SE IMPLEMENTAN. EL MANUSCRITO EVIDENCIA RESULTADOS DE UNA EXPERIENCIA REALIZADA APLICANDO LA METODOLOGÍA ABED, APRENDIZAJE BASADO EN DISEÑO, TENIENDO COMO CASO DE ESTUDIO UNA ESCUELA RURAL DE LA REGIÓN DE ÑUBLE. SE ENFOCA EN LA EFICIENCIA Y EFICACIA DE LOS PROCESOS DE ENSEÑANZA, GENERANDO APRENDIZAJES SIGNIFICATIVOS, COLABORATIVOS Y PRÁCTICOS VINCULADOS A PROBLEMÁTICAS DE LA VIDA REAL. EL MODELO EDUCATIVO ACTUAL SE ENCUENTRA CENTRADO EN EL CONTENIDO Y EN LA FIGURA DEL PROFESOR COMO FUENTE DEL SABER; POR EL CONTRARIO, ABED CENTRA LA ATENCIÓN EN EL ESTUDIANTE COMO CONSTRUCTOR DE SU PROPIO CONOCIMIENTO. LAS CONCLUSIONES ESTÁN REFERIDAS A LA EXPERIENCIA REALIZADA EN EQUIPOS DE ESTUDIANTES, QUE CON UN ENFOQUE BASADO EN UN PENSAMIENTO CRÍTICO DE NATURALEZA PROSPECTIVA, PROMUEVE LA IDEACIÓN DE SOLUCIONES PARA MEJORAR LA VIDA DE LA COMUNIDAD DE QUIENES LAS GENERAN.

THE ECONOMY OF THE BIO-BIO REGION IN CHILE IS MAINLY LINKED TO A NATURAL RESOURCES SCENARIO WHERE PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES HAVE A STRONG PRESSURE ON THE ENVIRONMENT. THE REGION IS THE LARGEST FORESTRY CENTER IN THE COUNTRY, WITH 83% OF BOARD MANUFACTURE. HOWEVER, ACTIVITIES IN THIS SECTOR, BASED MAINLY ON THE SUBSTITUTION OF NATIVE FORESTS BY PLANTATIONS OF PINUS RADIATA, AND THE REGION'S SECOND PLACE AS INDUSTRIAL SOLID WASTE (ISW) GENERATOR IN THE COUNTRY ARE DETRIMENTAL TO ITS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. THE PRESENT RESEARCH AIMS TO STUDY THE COMPATIBILITY AMONG PARTICLES OF P. RADIATA, UREA-FORMALDEHYDE AND COWHIDE FROM LOCAL FOOTWEAR MANUFACTURING AND CLASSIFIED AS ISW. THE METHODOLOGY INCLUDES AN IDEATION PHASE TO DETERMINE FORMAT AND LEATHER PERCENTAGE TO BE INCORPORATED AS RAW MATERIAL INTO A BASE MIXTURE USED IN THE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF CONVENTIONAL PARTICLE BOARDS (SECTION 63 OF ECE-FAO CLASSIFICATION). TEST TUBE SAMPLES COMPOSED OF P. RADIATA AND UREA-FORMALDEHYDE PARTICLES, AND OF P. RADIATA, UREA-FORMALDEHYDE AND LEATHER PARTICLES, ARE ELABORATED FOR TESTING OF PHYSICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES WHICH ALLOW COMPARISON OF THE FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE OF BOTH TYPES OF BOARDS. THE TESTS PERFORMED SHOWED THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO REPLACE P. RADIATA BY LEATHER WASTE IN UP TO 10% FOR THE DEFINED TYPE OF BOARD, WHICH IMPLIES AN EQUIVALENT SAVING OF WOOD RAW MATERIAL AND A 100% UTILIZATION OF WASTE MATERIAL GENERATED BY THE LOCAL FOOTWEAR INDUSTRY.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER FOR THE SUBSISTENCE PURPOSES OF ORGANISMS ON THE PLANET IS VITAL. AS A RESULT OF WRONG PATTERNS CONSUMPTION, RENEWABLE AND NON-RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCES OVERHARVESTING SUCH LARGE-SCALE FOOD PRODUCTION , HAVE GENERATED A NUMBER OF DRAWBACKS IN TERMS OF WATER SCARCITY AND LANDSCAPE EMPORISHMEN. THIS , ADDED TO THE INCREASING CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS, REPRESENTS AN ACTUAL CRITICAL SCENARIO AND A CRUCIAL EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGE FOR NEW GENERATIONS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMIND THAT ONLY 2.5% OF THE WATER OF PLANET EARTH IS FRESHWATER. THIS PERCENTAGE CAN BE FOUND CONCENTRATED IN GROUNDWATER, GLACIERS AND POLAR ICE CAPS; LEAVING ONLY 1,3% REMAINING ON SUPERFICIAL SWEETWATER, THIS MEANS IN LAKES, RIVERS AND STREAMS, THOSE NATURAL VALIUS FONTAINS ONES THAT UNFORTUNATELY ARE IN A INCREASING AND ALARMING SCARCITY (HOEKSTRA AND MESFIN, 2012). ONE OF THE AREAS WITH HIGHEST RATE OF DEMAND FOR HYDRIC RESOURCES IS THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR. ACCORDING TO THE WORLD FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO, 2020), THIS SECTOR WILL FACE AN ENORMOUS CHALLENGE IN ORDER TO FEED AN EXPONENTIAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPECTED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. FOR THAT UNCERTAIN SCENARIO, FOOD PRODUCTION SHOULD INCREASE BY APPROXIMATELY 70%. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS ALARMING SITUATION IS PROJECTED REGARDLESS OF LIMITED LAND AVAILABILITY AND INCREMENTAL FRESHWATER SCARCITY. THE CONCEPT OF SMART FARMING REPRESENTS AN ALTERNATIVE THAT COMBINES ANCESTRAL KNOWLEDGE AND NEW MONITORING AND CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES IN TERMS OF FOOD PRODUCTION WITH LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.VERTICAL GARDENS, HYDROPONICS AND AEROPONICS ARE TECHNIQUES IN FOOD CULTIVATION WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF INNOVATION AND A GREAT POSSIBILITY OF ADAPTABILITY TO THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLACE. IN THIS REGARD, AQUAPONIC SYSTEMS REPRESENT A MORE SUSTAINABLE WAY OF OPTIMIZING WATER RESOURCES. THIS DUE TO THE ABILITY TO COMBINE IN A MORE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AQUATIC SPECIES AND PLANTS. BIOMA-LAB, IS A PROJECT DEVELOPED BY THE DESI

THE PREDOMINANTLY FOREST SURROUNDING THAT CHARACTERIZED THE REGION OF BÍO-BÍO, CHILE, AS THE FIRST PINUS RADIATA COMMERCIAL GROWING AREA OF THE COUNTRY, AS WELL AS THE GEOGRAPHICAL CONCENTRATION OF LARGE BOARD AND PANEL INDUSTRIES ESTABLISHED IN THIS AREA, INVITE THE INDUSTRIAL DESIGNERS TO DEVELOP INNOVATIVE MATERIALS THAT INCREASE THE ECONOMICAL AND EMOTIONAL VALUE OF THIS RAW WOOD MATERIAL. THE PRESENT WORK SETS THE TEXTURE DESIGN AS THE PRIMARY ATTENTION FOCUS FOR INNOVATIVE BOARD MANUFACTURING, WHICH REQUIRES AN EXPLORATION OF VARIABLES IN BIONIC METHODOLOGY CONTRIBUTING TO THE CREATIVE PROCESS. A THOROUGH STUDY OF THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES EMPLOYED IN THE REGIONAL INDUSTRY AND THE DIVERSITY OF RAW MATERIALS AVAILABLE IN THE MENTIONED GEOGRAPHICAL AREA, ADDITIONALLY TO LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS DESIGNED TO MANAGE THE PROPORTIONS THAT MAKE THE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION PROCESS TO BE REPRODUCIBLE, ALLOW TO MATERIALIZE PROPOSALS DEFINED UNDER CONCEPTUAL DESIGN IN TEST TUBES. TEXTURES HAVE BEEN SELECTED AND INCORPORATED TO THE BOARDS BY PRESSING SYSTEMS USING HIGH TEMPERATURE, WHILE THE EVALUATION OF EMOTIONS RESULTING FROM THE SURFACE FINISH WAS PERFORMED USING THE SEMANTIC DIFFERENTIAL METHOD.

THIS RESEARCH FOCUSES ON THE STUDY OF INDUSTRIAL SOLID RESIDUES FROM THE AGRO-INDUSTRY, GENERATED FROM THE PROCESSING OF BARLEY, A MONOCOTYLEDONOUS PLANT THAT BELONGS TO THE POACEA FAMILY. THE POSSIBILITY TO BECOME THE MAIN RAW MATERIAL OF A BIOMATERIAL APPLICABLE TO SUSTAINABLE HABITAT IS ANALYZED, SINCE ITS FIREPROOF AND EASY ADAPTABILITY PROPERTIES WOULD ALLOW TO PRODUCE BOARDS WITH MECHANO-PHYSICAL BENEFITS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF PINE, WIDELY MANUFACTURED IN CHILE. A SECOND ASPECT WAS THE LABORATORY EXPERIMENTATION WITH A NATURAL RESIN OBTAINED FROM CASTOR OIL, IN ORDER TO CREATE A FULLY BIODEGRADABLE MATERIAL AND CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCE NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. THE BOARDS WERE DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED TO BE USED AS COATINGS FOR INTERIOR SPACES, WITH A FINISHED SURFACE OF BARE MATERIAL. AS THE INPUT FOR THE IDEATION PROCESS CONSIDERING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL COMFORT MATTERS FOR FUTURE USERS, METHODS OF AFFECTIVE ENGINEERING WERE INCORPORATED IN THE DEFINITION OF SURFACE FORMAL BOARD FEATURES, DESIGNING SINUOUS SURFACES THAT EVOKE FEELINGS OF CONFORT, DISTRACTION, TRANQUILITY AND COZYNESS. FUNCTIONALITY AND AESTHETICS WERE COMPLEMENTED IN A PROPOSAL WITH PRODUCTIVE FEASIBILITY AND ADAPTABLE TO THE FIELD OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SOLUTION FOR THE REUSE OF CORK WASTE IS STUDIED, BY FORMING A COATING FOR A COTTON TEXTILE MATERIAL, INTEGRATING PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABILITY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY. CORK IS A MATERIAL WIDELY USED TO MAKE STOPPERS FOR CONTAINERS IN THE WINE INDUSTRY. SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVES, SUCH AS THE REUSE OF THIS TYPE OF WASTE, ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-POTENTIAL MATERIALS THAT CAN BE APPLIED IN VARIOUS AREAS OF PRODUCT DESIGN. THE METHODOLOGY INCLUDES THE DESIGN OF A COATING BASED ON CORK AND THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE (TPU) IN THE LABORATORY AND A USER STUDY TO DETERMINE ASPECTS OF PERCEIVED QUALITY, BASED ON KANSEI ENGINEERING. USER EVALUATIONS ARE POSITIVE REGARDING THE DEVELOPED PROTOTYPES. THE DISCUSSION RAISES THE RELEVANCE OF THE DESIGN OF EMERGING MATERIALS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL MATERIALS, AS IS THE CASE OF THE MATERIAL RESULTING FROM THE EXPERIENCE CARRIED OUT. THE CONCLUSIONS ARE ORIENTED TO THE CAPABILITIES OF CORK AS A RESOURCE IN THE FIELD OF MATERIAL DESIGN AND THE DESIGN APPROACH FOR ITS APPLICATION DIVERSIFICATION.

THE WORK DEVELOPED BY AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS FROM THE BIOBÍO REGION OF CHILE, IN THE CONTEXT OF A GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY CAUSED BY THE SARS-COV-2 VIRUS IS PRESENTED. THE OBJECTIVE WAS TO DESIGN, MANUFACTURE AND DISTRIBUTE A FACIAL BARRIER IN RESPONSE TO THE LACK OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) IN THE HEALTH SECTOR. THE PERIODS OF CONFINEMENT RESULTED IN DIFFICULTIES IN ACCESSING ESSENTIAL PPE, DUE TO TRANSPORT LOGISTICS ALTERATIONS AND INCREASED DEMAND. TO DELIVER SOLUTIONS, THE COORDINATED ACTION OF PROFESSIONALS, TECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITIES AND AVAILABLE MATERIALS WAS ESSENTIAL. THE METHODOLOGY ADDRESSES STAGES OF IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDS FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL COMFORT OF HEALTH PERSONNEL, BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCE OF USING FACIAL BARRIERS; IDENTIFICATION OF NATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR PPE; IDENTIFICATION OF THE MATERIAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE IN THE REGION FOR THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE OF FACIAL BARRIERS; IDEATION PROCESS IN THE DESIGN RESEARCH LABORATORY OF THE UNIVERSIDAD DEL BÍO-BÍO; VALIDATION WITH USERS; LABORATORY VALIDATION; DISINFECTION AND DISTRIBUTION. THE RESULTS SHOW ASPECTS OF USER PERCEPTION WITH RESPECT TO TWO PROTOTYPES. RESULTS OF LABORATORY TESTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS CONTRIBUTE TO KNOW THE PROTECTION BENEFITS OF THE FINAL PROPOSAL. THE DISCUSSION REFERS TO THE INTERDISCIPLINARY CONTRIBUTION, THE INTEGRATION OF THE USER IN THE DESIGN PROCESS AND A PROSPECTIVE APPROACH. THE CONCLUSIONS PRESENT A REFLECTION ON THE EXPERIENCE DEVELOPED TO DELIVER EFFECTIVE RESPONSES IN COMPLEX TIMES.

TRADITIONALLY, THE INTERRELATION BETWEEN TEACHING AND LEARNING HAS FOCUSED ON STUDIES THAT SEEK TO DEFINE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS' LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTS AND METHODOLOGIES OF TEACHERS TO TRANSMIT INFORMATION. THE TEACHER DELIVERS KNOWLEDGE AND STUDENTS ARE PASSIVE RECEIVERS. THIS ARTICLE REFERS TO THE REFLEXIVE CRITICAL ANALYSIS CARRIED OUT BY A GROUP OF RESEARCHERS FROM THE EDUCATION AND DESIGN SECTOR, REGARDING THE ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES, AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PEDAGOGICAL MODEL DESIGN BASED-LEARNING (DBL). IMPLEMENTED IN RURAL PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN CHILE. DESIGN-BASED LEARNING FOCUSES ON INTEGRATING DESIGN PROJECTS INTO THE CLASSROOM TO PROMOTE CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH THE LEARNING OF CURRICULAR CONTENT THROUGH ENGAGEMENT IN REAL-WORLD, AND CROSS-CURRICULAR CHALLENGES. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO CONTRAST THE DBL PEDAGOGICAL MODEL WITH TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODOLOGIES IN RURAL PRIMARY SCHOOLS. THIS DEFINITION WOULD HELP SO THAT TEACHING AND LEARNING WOULD BE BETTER CONNECTED TO THE REALITY OF SCHOOLS. TODAY, EDUCATIONAL CURRICULA IS APPLIED IN THE SAME WAY IN URBAN AREAS AS IN RURAL ONES, WITH INCONSISTENCIES THAT CONFUSE RURAL STUDENTS. THE DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGY IS BASED ON DESIGN RESEARCH METHODS AND ALLOWS MEASURING THE IMPACT GENERATED BY THE NEW SYNERGIES BETWEEN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS DERIVED FROM THE EXPERIMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DBL PEDAGOGICAL MODEL. THE APPLIED METHODS ARE BASED ON EXPLORATION THAT ALLOWS STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO BE PROTAGONISTS JOINTLY, AMONG THEM ROLE INTERPRETATION, TRY IT YOURSELF, CULTURAL COMPARISONS, DAILY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, ETHNOGRAPHY. WHILE THE RESEARCHERS OBSERVE THE PLANNING OF THESE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT WITH THE SUPPORT OF COLLABORATORS TRAINED IN THE ABED METHODOLOGY. RESEARCHERS APPLY RESEARCH METHODS IN DESIGN TO GATHER INFORMATION RELATED TO THE EXPERIENCE, SUCH AS FOCUS GROUP AND CULTURAL PROBES. THE RESULTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ABED METHODOLOGY SHOWS AN INCREA

THIS PAPER PRESENTS THE EXPERIENCE DEVELOPED IN THE JUAN FERNÁNDEZ ISLANDS, A REMOTE ARCHIPELAGO AND NATIONAL PARK OFF THE COAST OF CHILE, DEVELOPED WITH UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH IS TO PROMOTE THE EDUCATION OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STUDENTS, THROUGH THEIR INTEGRATION INTO THE TERRITORY AND COEXISTENCE WITH ITS INHABITANTS AND CUSTOMS, TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE AND JOB PERFORMANCE. THE METHODOLOGY CONSIDERS TWO WEEKS STUDENT STAY IN THE SELECTED TERRITORY, TO GENERATE SYNERGIES WITH LOCAL PEOPLE AND DEFINE IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS. THE STAGES DEVELOPED ARE EIGHT, 1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION THROUGH DESIGN RESEARCH METHODS; 2. CONSTRUCTION OF A REFERENTIAL FRAMEWORK OF PERFORMANCE AND NEEDS; 3. CO-CREATION OF AN ACTION PLAN, CONSIDERING USERS, TERRITORIAL RESOURCES, PRESERVATION OF IDENTITY AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT; 4. CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION OF THE DESIGN PROPOSALS TO BE DEVELOPED; 5. FORMAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPING STAGE; 6. CO-DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN DESIGNERS AND USERS; 7. DEFINITION OF THE PROPOSALS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR THEIR INTEGRATION INTO THE DAILY LIFE SYSTEM; 8. SOCIALIZATION WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE RESULTS ARE PROPOSALS THAT CAN BE MANUFACTURED WITH LOCAL MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES. THE CONCLUSIONS MENTION THAT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOTIVATIONS AND ASPIRATIONS OF DESIGNERS CAN IMPROVE DECISION-MAKING REGARDING SHARED PROBLEMS IN THE COMMUNITY.

THE PAPER REFERS TO AN UNDERGRADUATE DESIGN TEACHING EXPERIENCE, BASED ON THE IDEATION OF DO-IT-YOURSELF (DIY) MATERIALS, FROM SELF-PRODUCTION AND USE OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE. THE APPROACH ALLOWS STUDENTS A POSITIVE ASSESSMENT OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND THE GENERATION OF INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS IN UNCERTAIN SCENARIOS. THE EMERGING SOCIAL CRISIS IN LATIN AMERICA IN 2019 AND THE GLOBAL HEALTH SITUATION IN 2020, CALLS FOR SOLUTIONS TO ISSUES SUCH AS POTENTIAL SHORTAGE OF SUPPLIES AND DEFICIENCY IN DISTRIBUTION CHAINS. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP HIGH-FIDELITY PROTOTYPES FOR TWO NEW MATERIALS THAT CAN BE MANUFACTURED AT USER LEVEL. DESIGN IS A TOOL THAT ALLOWS US TO RE-LOOK AT THE ENVIRONMENT AND GENERATE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO RESPOND TO PRESENT AND FUTURE PROJECTED NEEDS. THE INDEX COMPASS METHODOLOGY IS RELEVANT BECAUSE IT HELPS TEACHERS AND STUDENTS FOCUS ON USING DESIGN METHODS AND TOOLS TO IMPROVE LIFE. AT THE SAME TIME, IT ENCOURAGES CURIOSITY, COMMITMENT, CREATIVITY AND INNOVATIVE THINKING. THE CONCLUSIONS POINT TO THE CAPACITIES THAT THE METHODOLOGY ENHANCES IN THE STUDENTS TO PROPOSE NEW DIY SOLUTIONS AND VALUE THEIR HABITAT IN THE IDEATION PROCESS. THE RESULTS OBTAINED ARE DIY MATERIALS MADE FROM HOUSEHOLD WASTE, REPRESENTING POTENTIAL SUBSTITUTES FOR EXISTING PRODUCTS.

THE INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPERIENCE HAS ENABLED DESIGNING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FAVORING CREDIBILITY BY EMPLOYERS. TYPES OF PRODUCTS DEVELOPED HAS COVERED BOTH PLACING IN THE MARKET MANAGED AND PRODUCED PRODUCTS BY COMPANIES, ALLOWING RENEW OFFER, AS WELL AS ENABLED THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PRODUCTS, WHICH HAVE IMPROVED PRODUCTION PROCESSES OF SMES INVOLVED. PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF FONDECYT NO.11130394 RESEARCH PROJECT, FUNDED BY NATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMISSION OF CHILE, IS PRESENTED TO SET AN EXAMPLE ABOUT THEIR IMPACT ON COMPANIES OF WOOD BOARDS. THIS PROJECT WAS DEVELOPED WITH THE COLLABORATION OF THREE LAST YEAR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STUDENTS AND INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF EXPERTS FORMED BY INDUSTRIAL DESIGNERS AND PSYCHOLOGIST.

THIS PAPER DEMONSTRATES THE RELEVANCE OF COLLABORATIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY WORK TO ADDRESS TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH, AS WELL AS OBSERVING THE USER?S VIEWPOINT. NECESSARY PROCESS STAGES ARE PRESENTED FOR THE INNOVATIVE DESIGN TO GENERATE A STRUCTURED LAYER FOR BUILDING FACADES, CAPTURING SUNLIGHT TO CONVERT IT INTO ENERGY. THE PROPOSAL CONTRIBUTES TO A ZERO-ENERGY BUILDING CONCEPT ADDRESSING CONSTRUCTIVE ADAPTABILITY ASPECTS TO BE INCLUDED IN EXISTING BUILDINGS OR NEW ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS, INCORPORATING ELECTRONIC ELEMENTS AND PHOTOVOLTAIC GLASS WITH LUMINESCENT SOLAR CONCENTRATORS IN A SUPPORTING STRUCTURE. DIFFERENT SPECIALTIES AND THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN ACADEMIA AND TECHNOLOGY CENTERS ARE COORDINATED UNDER A CROSSED INFORMATION METHODOLOGY, WHERE APPROACHES AND PROPOSALS ARE ARRANGED IN A STANDARD METHODOLOGICAL PROCESS. FINALLY, A REPLICABLE INTEGRATED SYSTEMIC MODEL IS GENERATED, FAVORING THE COORDINATED ACTIONS OF DIAMETRICALLY DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES, FROM A STATEMENT OF ROLES AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF CAPACITIES FOR EACH ONE. THE DESIGNER?S PERFORMANCE CONSISTS BOTH IN THE IDEATION OF APPROPRIATE PROPOSALS BASED ON THE PROJECT REQUIREMENTS, AND THE EXECUTION OF ACTIONS, LIKE COMPILING, HIERARCHIZING, INTEGRATING, HARMONIZING AND SYNTHESIZING BOTH THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL CONTRIBUTIONS. IT IS CONCLUDED ABOUT THE NEED TO ESTABLISH PARAMETERS FOR JOINT WORK IN COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS, AND THE CAPABILITIES REQUIRED FROM A DESIGNER REGARDING CONCEIVING THE PRODUCT AND MANAGING HARMONIOUSLY THE ACTIONS NECESSARY TO REACH AN OPTIMAL RESULT OF RESEARCH.

THE ORIGIN OF RAW MATERIALS HAS BEEN A RECURRING THEME IN THE INDUSTRY, CONSIDERING GLOBAL WARMING AND ACTIONS TOWARD SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. THE PROCESS OF (RE)UTILIZING NATURAL RESIDUES HAS BEEN AN AREA OF INCREASING VISIBILITY. ON THE OTHER HAND, ASSOCIATIONS LINKED TO ANIMAL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN PRESSING TO INHIBIT THE USE OF ANIMAL SKIN. THE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS WORK IS TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE COATED TEXTILES WITH PINE WOOD WASTE FOR THE CREATION OF COATED FABRICS, EMPLOYING BIOMIMETIC PRINCIPLES TO ATTEMPT A MATERIAL THAT HOLDS THE POTENTIAL TO SERVE AS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL LEATHER. THE GOAL IS TO ESTABLISH A VALUE CHAIN FOR WOOD WASTE, THUS CONTRIBUTING TO THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY PARADIGM. THESE NEW FABRICS WERE SUBMITTED TO DIFFERENT CHARACTERISATION TESTS TO EVALUATE THEIR DURABILITY. AN ARTEFACT THAT DEMONSTRATES THE POTENTIAL OF THE NEW MATERIAL AND MIMICS PINECONES WAS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED TO DEMONSTRATE THE VIABILITY OF THE NEW TEXTILES
