Diseño experimental: Una utopía posible

Abstract

In spite of the fact that Science –as a Know without Subject- wasn´t always experimental and although not all the sciences can be, the experimentation has become the banner that distinguishes the Science of all the others forms of knowledgement and with which legitimate the pretension of the “true” knowledge
As the Sciences, particularly the natural and physical ones, has been professionalized, bureaucratized and marketized, the Arts are becoming spaces with freedom and experimentation availability. The modern Design –in the extensive sense of the term-, has always been between the rational method and the artistic intuition; as a practical knowledge used for the production of merchandise and services, the design seems
lacking experimental vocation. What conditions –institutionals, materials and subjectives- should be given to make the Design able to reveal its experimentation skills? In other words, what can we do to make possible the experimental practice in the project disciplines?
