A unique career path that, based on the design approach, continuously intertwines professional, teaching, and international development activities.

A method that is seen as “recombinant” due to its lack of creativity, “antifragile” because of its openness to disruption, “speculative” in its construction of the future, and “political” because of its awareness of the responsibilities it entails.

Thus, design, in its initial institutionalization, exhausts the innovative drive that gave it meaning for decades and prepares to write its second chapter: from prosperity to adversity, in an ideological chill.
