According to the English Royal Academy in his Dictionary of the English Language - Twenty-second edition This is a space to rethink, review and discuss the crisis FADU, the significant growth in enrollment, lack of infrastructure appropriate among other causes that produce crises and overwhelming and lead to changes that directly affect the actions of teaching and learning. In this place without any political affiliation, absolutely independent and open to the whole community, especially students and teachers of the FADU (Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning - Universidad de Buenos Aires) seeks to achieve social participation in search of solutions serious, mature, responsible and committed using more common sense approach and continuity of action to achieve social inclusion and recognition of new disciplines that provides FADU (designs) as well as integration with traditional races have this house of higher learning. In short all races should have equal rank to form a completely solid academic initials correspond with the respect imposed FADU and well-earned prestige granted by the UBA.
20 years ago, at that time, I was finishing my college career in Graphic Design. Just started college and caused as many hopes in those who were taking very new, and with years of history and cultural tradition, but our society does not understand very well that it was, but for those who have ever felt (from the sensible ) talking about the Bauhaus School in Switzerland, the Ulm School of Design, Styling of Argentina and the characters that passed through the Di Tella, study wave, the agency Agens and why not the American School, we knew that was that of Graphic Design, Industrial and Textile. While Cuyo and La Plata and had design in Buenos Aires was made to wait until mid-'80s. That's right there, where was the center of thought and projecting development in the School of Architecture and Urbanism, arrive "designs" and the Faculty would not be called more FAU as it was known from before that time would become FADU, D for Design, or School of Architecture and Urban Design. Design the new word that appeared as an announcement of new disciplines and although her sisters tight project was announcing growth for the community of students and teachers ... Just today stand at the entrance at the time of arrival or departure of a shift change to see how massively meet the daily ritual of be a member of this community of students and teachers, and those we saw yesterday, no longer surprised by the number of people who go today. back to the past, the beginning was interesting, wonderful and were enterprising, vigorous, full of future, but the busiest times from politics, never accompanied the long-term projects and educational policies were always cut. This the hardest hit were the areas of free public education at all levels, including university. This resulted in very diverse situations in the social and education affecting the accompanying growth was produced by students.
Perhaps you missed the focus of the objectives to follow? A twenty years into the career of Graphic Design, at times it was a revision of the curriculum and did not lead to anything, do you need? The problem of the number of teachers worsened, and resolved with increased subrentas, teachers do not charge for his academic position to compensate for the lack of budget. Teachers with university degrees who are paid as assistants to 2 nd, category only for students (no degree) and Ad honorem assistants with university degrees and / or students of careers. The problem described was denting the structure of the chairs that were forced by circumstance to use creativity to keep the teachers who formed a team, not throwing away the effort it takes to develop a solid working group efficient and try not to divert the main premise of using creativity, expertise and professionalism in the educational task, the effort put into teaching so that students can learn better. This happens in many subjects proyectuales, student teacher ratio was modified: a teacher for more number of students. 1 teacher for 60 or more students to have a 2 nd assistant.
Teachers without expectations a worthy role left (can not work for free, except in this country, when one must live daily work), there is no social work, paid holidays, teacher seniority, pension contributions, that is the position worthy of Ad honorem Where is the dignity? Just ask any of the students in my 20 years passed through the studios and classrooms that I have traveled with professionalism, creativity, utmost dedication and seeking to maintain as much dignity in the development of the teaching task if I mention these matters no effect on the day of the race, profession and a future without hierarchy of discipline.
still missing muchos temas por tratar si se quiere mejorar el futuro del diseño como carrera universitaria, hoy más que nunca necesitamos de la participación de todos:
Reformulación del plan de estudios acorde con la jerarquía de las carreras con que comparte la sigla FADU. Debe dejar de funcionar como una tecnicatura. Una carrera universitaria debe fomentar la investigación y la docencia aparte del desarrollo profesional.
Mejora de la estructura académica mínima de las cátedras, necesaria para el funcionamiento de todas las materias de la currícula de las carreras de la Fadu sin discriminación de ningún tipo.
Mejora de las condiciones laborales de los docentes en cuanto growth of students and professional academic growth.
Improved basic infrastructure to carry out by students learning in a habitat suitable worthy. And so many other issues without detracting from good actions undertaken over the years (do not forget to thank the many designers who generously gave us their knowledge and the possibility of dialogue with them "great effect"), but you have to understand that this is not enough and it is always necessary especially considering the rapid social developments, technological, cultural, we played live in the world, information technology and communication, global world, common markets, the sustainability of regions, economic units, while the design was maintained with a plan created in the 80's thinking in the past for a student of this (2 nd half of the twentieth century ) you have to play in the XXI century we are in the future the past is to know where to find us.
