Design
as discipline? / José Manuel Allard Serrano
The grandeur and pettiness of the craft / José Neira Délano
Seeking maestry / Miguel Eyquem
What for? / Gonzalo Puga
What is design? / Interviewing Charles Eames
Design
in Chile, is developed from five points of view. Allard proposes a debate
around the definitions and historical evolution of the term; Neira assumes
the reality of the graphic design in Chile; Eyquem establishes a definition
of design carried out from his own experience; Puga lightens us about
the real possibilities of industry in the matter, and finally Eames
allows us, through expressions of his approach to the design process,
to return to the beginning: what is design?.

Design
for 3 celebrations / Ricardo Lang
To drink or to take to the mouth a sandwich are signs, times and acts
that propose, more than objects, an always original action field for
celebration;a party understood as the opposite to the economy. The aim
is to express through works the implicit beauty of the gregarious life
that transcends the everyday life. The designs here presented were developed
in the last years by young designers’ teams of the Catholic University
of Valparaíso led by Ricardo Lang, with the sense of just making
place for celebration.

Complexity and Tecnology / Pablo Suárez

this opportunity he presents us a robot of submarine inspection.

Export
images: to be or not to be / Loreto Valdés
Loreto Valdés shows through some emblematic products, examples
of a starting road that would establish our largely required “international
image ”. The use of a label, a packing box, or even a match box
becomes necessary so that the sentence “Made in Chile ”
can stay in the eyes of the future foreign consumers.

Patrimonial
Chilean design / Guillermo Tejeda
In a country like Chile, which fights in defense of its fragile memory,
Guillermo Tejeda gives an impulse to the preservation and investigation
of the national graphic patrimony. With the current take off of the
graphic design in Chile, Tejeda proposes the necessity to appreciate
the legacy of Mauricio Amster, of the National Library or of a publishing
house like Quimantú, among others.

3
exhibitions: Knowledge spaces in the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian
Art / José Pérez de Arce
The visitor that enters to a museum faces, before all, a way of learning.
The Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art is unique in this sense because
it outlines an anthropological and archaeological knowledge from the
perspective of the art. This supposes a tension between two types of
knowledge: one from the sensitive scope of art, the other one from the
erudite world of science.
Under this task Pérez de Arce revises three examples of exhibitions
that outline interesting solutions from the point of view of the ephemeral
architecture.

The
image global economy / Patricio Pozo
A group of new scenarios that constitute and configure the new territory
of images, superimposed to reality. Figures of the everyday are translated
until the exhaustion into two-dimension surface trying to represent,
to support and to transmit a transactional world. A new race of designers
–no longer anonymous artisans but visual authors of texts and
interpreters of contents – will be in charge of managing and organizing
this new scene.

Ship
for the western Patagonia / Boris Ivelic
From 1984 the School of Architecture of the Catholic University of Valparaíso
has traveled around the continent in learning trips –“travesías
”– that open notions of what is the place and its destiny.
Several workshops of the School have done their “travesías
” to the Patagonia, opening new places or consolidating those
that already existed. The ship Amereida, whose development has been
led by Boris Ivelic, is a model that innovates for the development of
missions on the sea border.

Traditional
handcrafts in PUC / Alberto Sato
The character of what is handmade allows maintaining handicrafts as
collection pieces as well as objects that inform about an original culture.
However, their role in our society has been many times reduced to being
just a consumption object that satisfies certain decorative necessities.
In an effort to define with clarity our view of handicraft, Alberto
Sato rescues the necessity to maintain its presence under the eaves
of a university institution.

Pieces
of Pomaire's traditional pottery / Gonzalo Puga y Hugo Lagos
Pomaire owes its origin and name to the people of Indians of the XVIth
century, which after being moved to different places, were settle down
in its current location in 1771. Its potter tradition comes of the colonial
epoch, when diverse jars are made for the housekeeping of the kitchen
and big vats containing liquids.

Interview
to Gui Bonsiepe / Hugo Palmarola
In 1968 the German designer Gui Bonsiepe began his work in Chile, causing
a decisive change in the speech and practice of Chilean design, incorporating
in the discipline a necessary “project sense ”. Also, he
formed the section of Industrial Design of the Institute of Technological
Investigation of CORFO that remains up to 1973. After thirty years of
his work in Chile, Bonsiepe elaborates a new proposal for design, transferring
the project from rationalism to a problem of language. Palmarola approaches,
through an interview, the different aspects of this design proposal.

A
constant world / Alejandro Crispiani
The dissemination of the motto “design from the tablespoon to
the city” had its peak moment around the 40 ’s and 60 ’s
and its irradiation to Latin America was quick, with a gravitation that
lasted until the end of the 70 ’s. Among the figures that were
identified with this motto, the one that more completely embodied it
was the artist and Swiss designer Max Bill. Crispiani gives us a vision
of Bill ’s work starting from an analysis of the concepts that
the Swiss developed around the “concrete art ” and the “good
form”, among others.

Mauricio
Amster, Typographer, 1907 - 1980 / José Manuel
Allard y Francisca Reyes
A typographer is not only the designer of typographic sources, but
also is the professional that projects on paper the texts that will
give form to a form. The typographer Mauricio Amster is considered
one of the designers whose aesthetic, technician and pedagogic contribution
was decisive for the renovation and evolution of the graphic arts
in Spain and Chile.

Architecture
for sale: 2 projects of Izquierdo - Lehmann diploma class
/ Tomás Mckay y Pablo Riquelme
These two projects from the School of Architecture of the Catholic University
of Chile re-formulate the idea of the house adapting it to the requirements
of the market without leaving aside a deep analysis and renewed interest
for an industrial constructive system as is prefabrication. Considering
that, they place their work not only as a good product, but also like
a cultural manifestation of our times.

Errázuriz
house of Le Corbusier: Chronology of the project / Claudio Vásquez
The Errázuriz House was never built and it was the only project
of Le Corbusier in Chile. This article is based on documents that have
been gathered from the Fondation Le Corbusier, in Paris, and from different
works and publications. The material has been ordered in chronological
way, without going deeply into details, to keep the reading of the total.
The aim is to establish a starting point that allows discussion around
the project, contributing with new questions to those that are well
known.
