Abstract

The challenges of the contemporary world make evident the need for tools that encourage participation and bring closer to fairer and more sustainable solutions from an interdisciplinary perspective. On the other hand, the discipline of design has evolved towards emerging practices such as service design, strategy and social innovation, which place the designer in broader fields of operation with the opportunity to facilitate interventions at a systemic level. The purpose of this text is to give an account of the methodological tools that we have adapted from the Design for Transition model of (Irwin and Kossoff, 2015), based on a diversity of workshops and projects ranging from water resilience, the biocultural phenomenon cancer, the recovery of traditional knowledge and new forms of organization in the production and consumption of food. We focus on the experience of the Design for Transition workshop given to postgraduate teachers of the Master of Strategic Design and Innovation at the Universidad Iberoamericana de Puebla, which was carried out remotely in the country, during the contingency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the role of Generative Design, provided through the remote platform to the participants, who in addition to becoming familiar with the tools, developed a common vision of the problem, locating agri-food initiatives in the area and recognizing the role of the lifestyles as integral components of a shift towards other scales of the system. Finally, as educators, we reflect as educators on the changing role of the design discipline, from a reductionist and mechanistic approach, towards a more comprehensive vision, focused on the process and highly collaborative, which implies a change of mentality and sensitivity of the graduate towards an understanding of social dynamics and change in systems.
