EL REINADO DEL DISEÑO


...algo hay para agradecerle a la maldita importación que arrasó con la industria local y, desde mitad de los 70 a fines de los 90, relegó a la mayoría de los diseñadores, en el mejor de los casos, a proyectar stands de ferias. Lo bueno que dejó fue un limo de educación entre los usuarios acerca de la calidad del diseño: ergonomía, terminaciones, entre otros estándares......

No es el mejor articulo,... "muy Clarin" "populacho", tipo:"Diseño, para todos, y al estar escrito en 'Ñ, suplemetno de cultura' Tenemos el aval de que ""ahora somos cultos y con diseño"" ".

Pero bueno fui demasiado duro, (es que no se como explicar lo que esta pasando, y ellos con los medios y recursos que disponen, deberian hacerlo un poquito mejor).

Pero el articulo ayuda un poco a ejemplificar,
junto con otros articulos que ire buscando, lo que en Argentina y en Palermo esta pasando.

Buenos Aires, Argentina appointed UNESCO City of Design

The city of Buenos Aires, Argentina was appointed as the first UNESCO City of Design on 24 August 2005.

Through public-private collaboration, the city of Buenos Aires has been able to harness the energy and innovation of its design sector for development initiatives on a local, regional and international level.

Not only has the city diversified its economic growth potential, but it has also engaged a broad array of stakeholders in building one of the most vibrant and dynamic design scenes in Latin America.

As a cross-road of diverse backgrounds, histories, people and ethnicities, the city of Buenos Aires has been capturing the essence of diversity and creativity in order to develop one of the most viable and productive design industries in the South American continent.

Spanning the fields of fashion, architecture, industrial, interior and urban design with a keen focus on incorporating the latest technology and know-how, Buenos Aires is a city that inspires design.
