The Emerging Transition Design Approach

  • Terry Irwin
Palabras clave: Diseño para la transición; diseño sustentable; problemas perversos (wicked problems); relaciones con los interesados (stakeholders); transiciones socio-técnicas; visiones futuras; backcasting; diseño social; estudios de diseño

Resumen

Este documento describe un enfoque emergente del Diseño para la Transición para abordar problemas “perversos o intrincados” (wicked problems: cambio climático, pérdida de biodiversidad, delincuencia, pobreza, contaminación, etc.) y catalizar transiciones sociales hacia futuros más sostenibles y deseables. Los problemas perversos son los “problemas de los sistemas” que requieren un nuevo enfoque de resolución de problemas. El marco del Diseño para la Transición, reúne un conjunto de prácticas en evolución que pueden utilizarse para (a) visualizar y “mapear” problemas complejos y sus interconexiones e interdependencias; (b) situarlos dentro de grandes contextos espacio-temporales; (c) identificar y crear puentes para los conflictos de las partes interesadas y sus líneas de apalancamiento; (d) facilitar a los interesados la creación conjunta de visiones de futuros deseables; y (e) identificar puntos de influencia para el cambio (localizaciones en donde situar las intervenciones de diseño) dentro del wicked problem y los sistemas socio-técnico-ecológicos que forman su contexto
