Tartalmi leírás:
The contemporary design discourse has witnessed a heightened usage of the terms "vernacular", "bioregional" and "ancestral", particularly against the backdrop of the prevailing climate crisis. Traditional knowledge of materials and techniques have been referred to as those capable of illuminating the future and frequently serves as a starting point for Biodesign, an emerging design approach that often commits to ecological practices. However, despite being a growing trend, there is a lack of well-documented case-studies that clearly connect contemporary design practices to ancient knowledge.Within this milieu, Latin-American design has recently arisen prominently, benefiting from the region's abundant biodiversity and the indigenous presence. This study delves into the examination of four projects related to bio-products or biomaterials design undertaken in Latin America by different designers in the last five years, each employing indigenous ancient knowledge clearly mentioned by the designers, in three different countries. As a result, we present clear evidence on contemporary design projects that incorporate indigenous knowledge as a pivotal reference point, spanning regenerative practices, biotechniques development, and biodiversity preservation. The subsequent discussion and conclusion show that, even though it is not always the first intention of their work, these designers have been amplifying the voices of relegated groups, inviting us to engage in intercultural dialogue and review the design field (Santos, 2008). We also identify a design trend wherein designers, in their pursuit of ecological practices related to Biodesign and Biomaterials, recognize traditional knowledge as a legitimate and invaluable source for contemporary design endeavors.
