Exhibition Methodological Crossings: Practices from Design Theory

Methodological Crossings: Practices from Design Theory brings together and showcases various research processes developed by students of the Design Degree, within the subject Design Theories, led by Júlia Carrasco Parodi and Lara García Díaz. 

The exhibition, taking place at Eina Bosc from May 23 to 29, is accompanied by a public presentation of projects by the students on Tuesday, May 27, from 10:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Throughout the course, student work groups chose one of six thematic axes proposed in class: Design and gender, Design and power, Design and territory, Design and digital culture, Design and ecology, or Design and repair, as a starting point for their research. 

Each theme has been explored through a specific methodology: ethnography, auto-ethnography, co-design, or speculation. These methodologies allow each group to approach their chosen theme through observation, personal experience, collaboration, or critical imagination. 

The exhibition presents fragments of these processes: questions, discoveries, hypotheses, materials, perspectives, and ways of representing what has been investigated. Rather than showing final results, it aims to share the ways in which design can be a tool to investigate the world we inhabit.
