Synopsis

This book aims to unravel the work of one of the most important thinkers in the design disciplines due to the impact he has had on the production of knowledge, professional practice and design education. This is a work of great value for students and academics, as it will allow them to approach Richard Buchanan's thought, recognize the value of his contributions, discuss them, question them and, if possible, even continue them. Despite being one of the most important, it is also little known among students, since in order to enter into his thought there is first the language barrier, since the great majority of the texts and video conferences that he has given in universities around the world are in English and are not subtitled. The second obstacle for those who do know the language, perhaps, is the structure of his texts, since in them he addresses problems of the design disciplines that are already complex. Thus, although the author is not incomprehensible, perhaps he does require an investment of time and effort, which are two things that are generally not available when one is inserted in the university dynamic, since academic-administrative tasks tend to consume it. With the objective of collaborating in the understanding and discussion of Buchanan's ideas and bringing them closer to the entire academic community, with students as a priority, the authors who participated in this collective effort took on the task of identifying guiding lines in Buchanan's thought, through his texts and conferences.

Buchanan and Design is a book that presents the results of researchers located in different universities in the country, members of the Design Researchers Network. This work aims to identify the perspectives that have had the greatest impact on the understanding of design disciplines, such as graphic design, industrial design, fashion design, interior design, interaction design, service design, among others. The findings are of great academic value because they allow, first, to present a key author in the understanding of design to a new audience, perhaps because the language did not allow an in-depth approach; second, to recognize central ideas of the author that have had a significant impact in different areas of design; third, to extend his ideas to new fields and current practices to understand the design disciplines. These findings were made possible thanks to the collective review of the author's publications, interviews and conferences that have been saved on the Internet.
